September 21, 201113 yr Roger Eagle moved to North Wales shortly before he died. Met him a couple of times in Bangor in a record shop and at a gig in a local pub that he did with Brian Rae (I think). Didn't have much time for 'Northern' - seemed to be much more into his 'Blues'. Nice guy and interesting to talk to. Sad to have died at such a relatively young age.
