Born in Normanton, a suburb of Derby in 1910, Binge's family quickly moved into a council house in Chaddesden.

"When he left school, he had to work straight away," said David.

"He didn't have a musical education in any way but he sang in the local church choir and the choirmaster saw his potential and taught him the piano and the organ."

Binge's first job in music was in the local "fleapit" cinema, arranging the music and playing the organ to accompany what were then silent movies.
