April 21, 1912 (age 86) London, Greater London, United Kingdom.

Robin Richmond (1912–1998) was an English cinema organist and BBC Radio presenter and performer. Richmond was born on 21 April 1912 in London. His father was a doctor. He was educated at Westminster School and London University, though he failed to graduate from the latter.

Robin Richmond was born in London in 1912, the son of a doctor. Neither of his parents had any musical talent, but the boy became interested in the organ while at Westminster School. Students were compelled to attend the daily morning service at Westminster Abbey except, Richmond discovered, those who studied the organ. Thus the delighted schoolboy was able to skip religion in favour of further musicianship. Richmond's earliest employment, however, was in religion. He became organist at the Lambeth Mission Hall, which gave him a mixture of secular and serious to accompany. The hall showed silent films during the week and held services all day on Sunday. The job did not last for long; the minister sacked him for using drum-style percussion whilst accompanying the hymns.
