Roger John D'Arcy

Born 1956 - Derby, England - lives in Valence, France.

Singer-songwriter/guitarist - erstwhile designer of recording studios for the rich and famous, poor and talented, corporate and mean....

Latest release: 'Footprints in the wet cement' - 12 new songs recorded over the summer of 2025 at Cream Tangerine Studios in the Ardêche, France - produced by fellow English refugee, Simon Widdowson.

Busy making other plans:

Longsongs Music was set up in 1981 to publish the songs of Roger D'Arcy - "Longsong" was the title of one of sixteen tracks recorded by the (very) short lived duo, The DT Band (Roger D'Arcy - Kevin Thompson) and featured on their first album, "Just a Dream" recorded over the summer of 1981 in Sheffield in the north of England.

Roger (songwriter) and Kevin (guitarist) had just completed six years studying architecture at Sheffield University - there was no time to lose! A second album of songs, "To the Sky", was written and recorded over the following few weeks. Within a year, life and careers got in the way....

Sidetracked - the closing song of "Footprints in the wet cement" (2026)

Fast forward from 1982 to 2016 and the release of Roger's debut solo album, "Crooked Tales" - that and the subsequent recorded solo catalogue can be found here - a few songs by The DT Band are separately listed.

It's never too late........ until it is.
