Roger Cotton is one of the unsung heroes of British music, he is a songwriter of note, and in his roll as producer and engineer at his studio he has been responsible for some memorable albums and performances.   

"A Long Way Back”, is Rogers first solo album, on it Roger plays piano, Hammond organ and guitar and composed all the tunes, he also produced and engineered the project. 

Roger for many years played with the Peter Green Splinter Group touring with artists like B B King, John Mayall's Blues breakers, Buddy Guy, Jimmy Ray Vaughan, Louisiana bluesman - Larry Garner, the late great James Carr and many more.  His latest tour has been with Buddy Whittington from the Blues breakers.
