A Shropshire Lad

This is AE Houseman's Shropshire Lad. It's set in the beautiful county of Shropshire, with much of it being imaginary. It reflects on the terrible effects of war, the helplessness of man, and I think above all the loss of youth. it's made even more dramatic because of the incredible beauty of Shropshire. Hope you like it!

Verse or Worse

And now for something different. Over the years I've written hundreds of poems. Today, I thought I'd share a few. Hope you enjoy them.

Tea for Two and Nocturnal Nostalgia Returns

Yes, that's right. Roger and Chris enjoy a catch-up over a pot of tea and suddenly the memories of crazy nights and crazy bands and artists come flooding back. Just a mention of Chris's magic cape (he actually used to wear a cape) and somehow it opens up Pandora's box of what fun you have seeing live acts. Good job the record button was pressed. Some may say, was it misspent youth? Not on your Nelly! Hope you enjoy.

Four Love Songs

They say the course of true love never runs smooth and these four tunes are certainly a testament to that. Vincent (Don McLean), I Can't Stop Loving You (Leo Sayer), Love at the Five and Dime (Nanci Griffith), and More Like the Movies (Dr. Hook) are four songs that I have always loved. Here they are on acoustic guitar and me, warts and all, as I say. Jan walked in as I was singing, picked up a shaker, and added it to the Dr. Hook tune. I like it. Hope you like these as much as you did the Christmas songs. Roger xx

Sgt. Pepper’s Friend’s - This is where they come from - Mick’s story.

Sgt. Pepper’s Friend’s Campervan rolled into Dudley town centre on a wet market day and met Mick. Warning: some people might find the content difficult to deal with. Mick’s story is both staggering and informative. The world needs more people like Mick to, tell and educate us. As someone said, if you’re prepared to stop people in the street, then you have to be prepared for what they tell you. I think I was. You make up your own minds. I hope you enjoy. Take care.

Oh! Those Post Christmas Blues

Roger and Chris are joined by Chris' wife, Lisa today. The best laid plans and all that! Fully intending to take the Sgt Peppermobile into the Shropshire countryside to spread the word, when the heavens opened and the only thing for it was to go to a beautiful Shropshire pub and talk about how their festive seasons had been. Lisa tells how her late Christmas spirit got into full flow thanks to earrings from Primark. Not forgetting her annual maxim, Christmas is for family and New Year's for friends. Hope you enjoy.....

Forgotten Voices

Forgotten Voices - COVID 19 has impacted on everyone. We've all had different experiences and no two lives have been the same. Throughout the pandemic Sgt. Pepper's Friends has got to know the lockdown stories of many people. They have real tales of resilience, relying on strangers, coping with no physical contact from loved ones, becoming poorly, experiencing bereavement and much more. We've spoken to eight people who live or work in the Black Country who were willing to share their stories that will surprise, shock, sadden and even make you laugh. Forgotten Voices was recorded and produced by Roger Edwards - we hope you enjoy it. To find out more about Sgt. Pepper's Friends please go to - www.sgtpeppersfriends.co.uk
