Musicians: Roger Daltrey with special guest KT Tunstall
If any one member of The Who can be said to be the group’s founding member it is singer Roger Daltrey, who first assembled the group that would become The Who in 1959 while at Acton County School, recruiting John Entwistle and subsequently agreeing to John’s proposal that Pete Townshend should join. Roger’s earliest tastes in music ran to the blues and R&B which formed the setlist during their early years. In December 2008, he and Pete Townshend were honoured with America's most prestigious cultural award as recipients of the 31st annual Kennedy Center Honors. On March 24, 2011, Roger and his band gave a complete performance of Tommy at a Teenage Cancer Trust show at the Royal Albert Hall, London, supported by imagery which he commissioned from students of Middlesex University.
