Harry Stoneham • Latin Lowrey

 

 


Harry Stoneham was born in 1930 in West Ham, London, England. He is known for Fresh Fields (1984), Full House (1985) and A Bit of Fry and Laurie (1987). He died in December 2018 in the UK.


Outside the BBC studios Harry Stoneham avoided the public eye to the extent of keeping his telephone number and home address private.
He started learning the piano at an early age.
He studied at the London College of Music and switched his attention to the organ in 1962.
Harry was perhaps most well known for his appearances on the BBC Terry Wogan and Michael Parkinson talk shows as musical director.
During the 1960s he worked with several name bands - notably Johnny Howard's - and enjoyed playing any kind of music, if it's good.
He did a Lowrey release "breakfast" function in Melbourne, Australia in 1977. He was doing promotion of the range in general with a little accent on the SCT Symphonic Citation Theatre.
In the mid-sixties Harry Stoneham was the resident organist of a pub in Clapham, named The Plough. He worked with a drummer (unsurprisingly, Harry provided bass with his feet) called Johnny Eiden, and they were a duo under the name of "Two Fellas to Follow".
Harry was also engaged as demonstrator for Lowrey Organs. He played a Lowrey Coronation for the biggest part of his residency as Musical Director on the Parkinson Show, before Lawrie Holloway replaced him.
His death around Christmas time in 2018 was kept quiet by his wife as she did not want the news to spoil Christmas for others. This perhaps reflects the air of modesty that surrounded his private life.

Harry Stoneham nació en 1930 en West Ham, Londres, Inglaterra. Es conocido por Campos frescos (1984), Full House (1985) y Un poco de Fry y Laurie (1987). Murió en diciembre de 2018 en el Reino Unido.


Fuera de los estudios de la BBC, Harry Stoneham evitaba el ojo público hasta el punto de mantener en privado su número de teléfono y su dirección particular.
Comenzó a aprender a tocar el piano a una edad temprana.
Estudió en el London College of Music y en 1962 se pasó al órgano.
Harry fue quizás más conocido por sus apariciones en los programas de entrevistas de la BBC Terry Wogan y Michael Parkinson como director musical.
Durante la década de 1960 trabajó con varias bandas de renombre -sobre todo la de Johnny Howard- y disfrutaba tocando cualquier tipo de música, si era buena.
Hizo una función de "desayuno" de lanzamiento de Lowrey en Melbourne, Australia, en 1977. Hizo promoción de la gama en general con un poco de acento en el Teatro de Citación Sinfónico SCT.
A mediados de los sesenta Harry Stoneham era el organista residente de un pub en Clapham, llamado The Plough. Trabajaba con un baterista (como es lógico, Harry aportaba el bajo con sus pies) llamado Johnny Eiden, y formaban un dúo bajo el nombre de "Two Fellas to Follow".
Harry también fue contratado como demostrador de los órganos Lowrey. Tocó un Lowrey Coronation durante la mayor parte de su residencia como director musical en el Parkinson Show, antes de que Lawrie Holloway lo reemplazara.
Su muerte en torno a la Navidad de 2018 fue mantenida en secreto por su esposa, ya que no quería que la noticia estropeara la Navidad para los demás. Esto quizás refleja el aire de modestia que rodeaba su vida privada.
