Roger Limb

PIANIST

Roger Limb, Arranger, Pianist, Producer (Producer of the ‘Black Coffee album)..... A man with talents of the highest order.

Played piano from age of 4, gigging on bass from age of 15 in mainly jazz based groups one of which had Brian Jones (later Rolling Stones) on Saxophone!

Bought first bass guitar and toured  Germany . Worked his way up through the jazz world and eventually played with Chris Barber 's Jazz and Blues Band. Worked a lot as a solo pianist, interval spots etc. then started deputising for band pianists. Now does 50/50 bass and piano. 

Worked with Aydenne Simone for some 14 years both as a permanent member and Musical Director of Jazz Culture, but also as one half of the perfect Jazz Duo for many delighted audiences including our Queen. 

After a spell as a newsreader, (many times dashing off the stage at the 100 Club at 1140 pm to get to the studio in time to read the midnight news on the World Service) he became a composer at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Here he wrote more than 100 title tracks, at least 200 songs for kids programmes, soundtracks for wildlife programmes and scores of scores for such shows as Dr Who.

Aydenne is very proud to work with Roger , after all these years she says “he can still hurt my heart, with his awesome playing”
