Roger and Nick Courtney


Roger Courtney was a guitarist and played around local venues in the late 1900's.
In 1992 he set up a weekly event which gave signed and unsigned local and international musicians the chance to perform at The Old House at Home, in Milton, Portsmouth.
Roger ran his ‘Roger Courtney’s Open Mike Club’ at various venues until he died in 2002.
His son Nick carried on the Open Mike nights in his name at the RMA Tavern in Eastney.
