Sri Lankan scene a boon to Roger Menezes
The Island
|April 29, 2025
Although based in Australia, Sri Lankan-born Roger Menezes finds the Sri Lankan scene, as a performer, irresistible.
-
Over the past couple of years he has been here many times; his last visit was in February this year...and he is back again.
Recollecting his last trip to Sri Lanka, Roger said he left for Australia on 15th February, just after his Valentine's Day performance, on 14th February.
"Yes, my final gig was at the Broadway Pub, in Dehiwela, which was a sell out a week before the event. My music that night was mainly the hits and memories of the good times where there was fun laughter dancing and good music, and the audience loved it."
