Take The Long Way Home

Roger Hodgson returns to the British stage - and makes his peace with old colleagues in supertramp.

- Peter Watts

ROGER Hodgson is calling from a hotel room in Brazil, where he is touring before he plays two nights at the royal Albert Hall in May. The former Supertramp songwriter still marvels at the doors that remain open almost 40 years after Supertramp’s mega-selling Breakfast In America album. “It’s amazing that I can tour everywhere and get an audience and it gets more amazing each year to see how these songs have lasted,” he says. “It’s gratifying to come back now and play two shows at the Albert Hall. It’s very emotional playing my home country after all this time and to still have an audience that is growing.”
