Friday 27th June 2008 Stowe, MK18 5EH Roger Hodgson has been recognised as one of the most gifted composers, song writers and lyricists of our time...

The legendary voice of Supertramp and composer of the band’s greatest hits, Roger Hodgson gave us “”, “”, “Dreamer”, “Take the Long Way Home”, “”, “It’s Raining Again”, “School”, “Fools Overture” and so many others that have become the soundtrack of our lives. His trademark way of setting beautiful introspective lyrics to upbeat melodies resonated and found its way into the hearts and minds of people from cultures around the world. His songs have remarkably stood the test of time and earned Roger and Supertramp an adoring worldwide following.

The South Front at Stowe provides a truly stunning setting for this concert. The splendour of the Marble Hall, South Steps and Portico provides a magical backdrop to the sublime beauty of the landscaped gardens beyond. Immense and uplifting, the views across the lakes to the temples, the Palladian Bridge and the Corinthian Arch beyond have inspired generations of artists, poets and musicians. There can surely be no more inspirational a place to experience the musical genius that is Roger Hodgson.

Recent TRIBUTES: “…WOW! A concert just doesn’t get any better than this! Unreal. You’re a talented, talented musician/artist/songwriter Roger …Great to see you perform some of your Supertramp material and may I say your recordings since Supertramp are just as good…”

“There are few vocalists instantly recognizable from the first few bars of a song but Roger Hodgson is certainly one of that unique group. The singer/songwriter of Supertramp, his voice is as unmistakable as the distinct keyboard sound of his early hits…”

“The highest compliment Roger can be paid is that he probably sounds better live today than in the recording studio more than a generation ago… The prolonged standing ovation received echoed around the hall for ages…”

A percentage of the proceeds will be donated to The Campaign for Stowe which is vital to the future of this wonderful place. It raises awareness and support for the pressing needs of both Stowe House Preservation Trust and Foundation.
