Roger Wilson (born 22 July 1961, Leicester, England)[1] is an English folk singer, fiddler, violist, guitarist, and songwriter who abandoned a graphic design career to become a full-time musician in 1984.[1][2] He is recognized as a fiddle-singing pioneer.[3] He was a member of The House Band (1993–98) and later joined Chris Wood and Martin Carthy in performances.[4][5] He has also worked with Kate Rusby's Concert Party, with Pete Morton in Urban Folk, and with John Tams at the National Theatre.[4]
