Roger Ruskin Spear

Roger Ruskin Spear (born 29 June 1943[1] in Hammersmith, London) is an English sculptor, multimedia artist and multi-instrumentalist (saxophones, clarinet, piano, guitars, percussion) who was a member of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

In 1982 Spear took part in The Cut Price Comedy Show, a weekly confection of corny sketches and ironic end-of-the-pier jokes.

Produced by ITV region TSW and screened on the then-new Channel 4, it ran for ten programmes and was then dropped.

In 1991 Spear played saxophone in Vivian Stanshall's show Rawlinson Dog Ends at the Bloomsbury Theatre, London.

Spear later played with an amalgamation of Bill Posters and Bonzo musicians called BonzoBills,[7] involving Sam Spoons, Biff Harrison, Dave Glasson, Megs Etherington, Chris Lowe and Jim Heath (a former member of Harry Strutters Hot Rhythm Orchestra).
