Loitered Lens: Edward Rogers

Photos of Edward Rogers at Islington Assembly Hall, on a night where Ray and Dave Davies shared the stage for a near Kinks reunion.

Suited, booted, and much smarter than either of the Davies brothers later on the same night, Edward Rogers lit up Islington Assembly Hall in advance of a Kinks almost-reunion.

‘Think of an orgy in a New York artist’s loft including Lou Reed, Tav Falco, Lux Interior, Charles Bukowski and Jim Morrison, and you may be near the mark.’

– Carl Byron Batson, reviewing the show for Trebuchet.
