From
Roger on Facebook: "Well finally my new album Love and Other Tragedies recorded with the
amazing Julia Kent on cello is finished. I mastered it last week in
London and the lacquers are on their way to Holland to press the double
white vinyl.
We have a release date of May 29th on 99X/10 Records and
Tapes and a premiere in London at St Leonards Church on May 30th.
Performers are yet to be finalised but it will be a very beautiful
concert whoever is playing! More details to follow....
Just to clarify, there will be only one (minute possibility of an LA
show) show in London on
May 30th and I will post pre order details as
soon as I have them. Its a limited edition of 250 double white vinyl.
Thanks for the interest, this is a very emotional record for me and I
very much hope everyone connects with it."
