In this very special episode of VRP Rocks, host Paul Stephenson swaps his Highland studio for the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London — joining Foghat legend Roger Earl backstage just hours before the band’s historic return to the UK stage for the first time since 1973!

Invited as a special guest by Roger and his wife/manager Linda, Paul takes you behind the scenes of a truly unforgettable night — from soundcheck to dressing room stories, right through to showtime.

Roger talks about what it means to finally play in the UK again, reflects on five decades of Foghat, and shares stories of growing up in London. And if you missed it, don’t forget to scroll back and listen to the full 50th anniversary deep-dive into Fool for the City – a must-hear celebration of the album that made them stars.

Hit play and join Paul backstage for a unique moment in rock history.
