However, the Limit clientele has changed a bit since he was last down in the sweaty West Street basement, and Roger realizes he too is going through some changes. Never miss an episode.

4 NOV 2023 · Grab a cuppa and a biscuit 'cos this is a long one.
Roger is in Rotterdam for the very first Pandora's Music Box music festival at the super smart De Doelen venue.Â
Siouxsie and The Banshees headline but play first, which means poor, delicate Rog has to wait six hours before The Box take to the stage in the middle of the night.Â

My Life In The Mosh Of Ghosts - Gig 59. David Bowie, Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh, 28th June 1983.
8 AUG 2022 · It's a big one. Roger takes a coach up to Scotland to see his first David Bowie concert.Â
For a distinctly personal take on what are some of Bowie's most well-documented shows; Roger mixes the events of the day itself with some of his memories of growing up as a teenage Bowie fan in Sheffield during the 1970s.Â
May cause offence to fans of Icehouse, Pilot and the population of Milton Keynes.

27 JUN 2022 · In which Roger and his bandmates in The Box find themselves in a heavy metal maelstrom on a Thursday night in Glasgow. Iron Maiden take no prisoners at the legendary Apollo Theatre en route to world domination. It's very loud, very sweaty and a just little bit silly, but as a baptism of fire into the world of heavy metal and the legion of devoted young fans, it's one not to be forgotten.

Simon Elliott-Kemp: intro and outro music.

Memory joggers: Charlie Collins and Paul Widger.
