Neville Dickie
Neville Dickie was born in County Durham, England on January 1st 1937. His early years in music were spent in the northern working mens’ clubs. After his National Service in the RAF, Neville left Durham and moved to London. He spent many years working for little money in the pubs around the London area and his lucky break came when he was auditioned by the BBC and spotted by Doreen Davies, then head of Radio 2. Hundreds of broadcasts followed, both solo and with his Trio. In 1969 he recorded “The Robins Return” which became an immediate hit. Neville remains one of the few British Jazz pianists to have had a record in the Hit Parade.
Performed in: 2007
