Musician Profile

Band Info

Roger Curphy (Double Bass) I was born in London 1948 into a musical household. My father was a dance band pianist and I started aged 10 later turning to guitar. Aged 16 I joined his band and doing three gigs a week I earned more than the day job. I then started on double bass and played with many modern jazz musicians including Tony Coe, Dick Morrissey etc. The trad scene for me began in the 80's. Currently, I am fairly busy playing with various bands of different styles.
