Roger Anthony Glanville-Hicks (born 10 September 1950) is an Australian former rock and classical musician. As Roger Hicks, he was the lead guitarist in the pop group Zoot from 1968 to 1969 before relocating to Brisbane, where he joined another group, the Avengers. Hicks provided acoustic guitar for Russell Morris's first two singles, "The Real Thing" and "Part Three into Paper Walls" (both 1969) – both reached No. 1 on the Go-Set National Top 40 singles chart. Under his full name, he returned to his classical music origins, during the 1970s. He subsequently provided classical guitar for theatre productions, theorbo for ensemble performances and lute for films.
