Memories of "Take it from Here", "Round the Horne", "Letter from America", "Journey into Space", "Family Favourites","In Town Tonight", "Dick Barton - Special Agent" and many others. Roger describes himself as a professional pianist/speaker/raconteur and singer.

Roger Browne was born in Blackpool but spent his childhood in Salford. The latter provides the butt of many of his jokes. It was listening to the radio that sparked his love of music and at the age of four he was singing to the
public. He will explain the reason for his retirement from singing at the age of eight to pursue piano playing. As
a jazz player he performed with the Mark Roger Manchester Jazz Band and for a time with Humphrey Lyttleton.

By introducing short bursts of music on his piano, he ensures that his audience is attentive and thoroughly
enjoying his wit. He starts by playing short snippets of various radio programme theme tunes from the
1950s and asks his audience to provide the names, like 'Two Way Family Favourites', 'The Billy Cotton Band
Show' and 'Music While You Work'. It was Winifred Atwell who inspired him with tunes like Black and White Rag.
