He has worked alongside founding member Johnny Moore for more than a decade
and is now the longest serving singer in the band. Roy has made numerous
television and concert appearances all over the world, including The Royal Albert

Drifters at The White House for the President of the USA, Mr. Bill Clinton and was
invited back to perform a second time by special request of the President!
Roy has also enjoyed major success when he signed a recording deal in the mid-
seventies with The J.A.L.N. Band, one of the first bands to storm the British charts
with an out 'n' out dance record, "Disco Music, I Like It" produced by Pete
Waterman. After three well-received albums, the group disbanded and Roy launched
his solo career, during which he has toured the Middle East, Europe and America,
playing some of the world's most prestigious venues.
In 1997, Roy released his first solo album, "No Afro, No Sequins, No Flares" to great critical acclaim. He followed this in 1999 with his second solo album, "All Talked Out" which includes a fine version of 'The Drifters' classic, "Like Sister and Brother".
