THE FIRE WILL BLAZE AGAIN
. . . the evening's high point.  The Fire Will Blaze Again sets poems by Vaughan Jones that apply Christian imagery to events in East Timor. The music, taut, lyrical and open-hearted, focuses on prayer rather than horror, and builds to an affecting affirmation in the face of hopelessness. . .Robert Maycock, The Independent

BEGA'S BALLAD
. . . melodically beautiful.  The atmosphere is evoked by the mode, smoothly flowing quavers and the use of harmonics. . . Double Bassist

THE KING OF THE GOLDEN RIVER
Rodgers is clearly a fine composer with a sincerity especially welcome these days. Classic CD

SPANISH SONATA
The three movements are well contrasted, containing some effective clarinet writing . . . this work will be a good addition to the repertoire . . .

It's an exciting, fresh and imaginative piece written with a great sense of style and confidence. It's the most inspiring concert item for the instrument I've come across in ages and is highly recommended.

Dear Sarah Rodgers,
I have just returned home after your magical concert at Coalville. It was a unique and wonderful concert and I feel I am expressing the majority emotion of the appreciative audience. I have never written a fan letter before . . . .
Dorothy Collier, Ashby-de-la-Zouche

THE ROARING WHIRL
The six sections of the work take us through the colour, heat, light and energy of a day in the life of the Punjab, but, above all, they give a profound and joyful experience of humanity.
Christopher Hughes Smith, Connect 33.

THE ROARING WHIRL
Multi-media pieces need discerning creators if they're to gel. The Roaring Whirl did so with conspicuous success.
Peter Palmer, Nottingham Evening Post

SPANISH SONATA
A moving and impressive piece of writing . . . an unusual sense of movement and improvisation
