About Roger Henderson

Roger was born and brought up in North Wales, the son of a Travel Agent and an office clerk.  He moved to Swansea in 1972 to study and liked it so much that he stayed. 

He began writing consistently from the age of 15.  Eventually, this gave rise to an E.P. and four albums of his own material.  Later on, Roger was a finalist in the ‘Song for Wales’ competition (Cân i Gymru) three times, most recently in 2021.  As if this was not enough, he’s written poems, a book of short stories and album reviews for magazines. 

The gig list is just enormous and has probably exceeded a couple of thousand performances, both of band work and solo events.  Roger has taken part in very many TV and radio shows and has gigged in a wide-range of countries overseas, including Turkey, Germany, USA, Morocco, Australia and New Zealand.  He continues to perform regularly in local venues.
