Welcome to the Rod Willis Photo gallery
Rod first met Paul, Frank and Peter when they were Purple Haze. He shared a flat in Goode Street, Preston with Ken Maguire and Ray Holder, and it was hard to get in there without there being a Doors Album on the Turntable! Rod became Little Free Rock's Roadie when we moved to the leafy suburbs of Sydenham in London SE26. It was through working with UFO at the Marquee that Rod became aquainted with them, and eventually he left to work with them and to progress their career and his own.
Rod is now back in Australia with an Office in Newport Beach where manages the careers of Cold Chisel and Don Walker amongst others.
