Warm tributes have been paid to John Rogers, the well-known Belfast music promoter and former manager of Sir Van Morrison.
The east Belfast man, who later moved to Comber, worked in Northern Ireland’s music industry for more than 50 years, including 30 years alongside Sir Van.
Mr Rogers passed away suddenly in hospital on Wednesday. He is survived by his wife Wilma, children Alan and Karen, six grandchildren and wider family circle.
