We are on the Regent Seven Seas Grandeur. We had the opportunity to see you twice, and you were magnificent. Your singing and playing the piano were fabulous! We enjoyed your stories about your family. I also learned from you to always be hopeful. Much success in your future!

A week has passed since returning from our first cruise, and I wanted to wait a while, returning to normality.
Thank you for being part of a wonderful experience, with memories of us singing along with you. Future holidays will have a lot to live up to.
Hoping that we are lucky enough to see and hear you again.

Gail (Wednesday, 28 May 2025 15:45)

Your interview on Radio 4 was so wonderful and inspiring. I am passionate about singing and now at 55 am at last performing . I lost my hearing in one ear 15 years ago due to Meunière’s and I have had such a chip on my shoulder about it until hearing your story. Thank you so much for sharing it. It has helped me so much! You’re incredible .

Margo Creely (Tuesday, 27 May 2025 17:40)

Hi Philip, I've just been blown away by your story on Radio 4, in fact I had a tear in my eye! You are a very special person and have found your true place in this world, bringing joy to thousands with your beautiful voice. I used to live in Putney, wonder if I ever got your bus?! Some time ago I learned BSL and worked with deaf children, a job I loved. Wishing you a wonderful future - God bless you and your voice !!! xx

Lorraine (Monday, 26 May 2025)

Had to listen to the show after hearing his great voice on a recent cruise.
With all the terrible news that is going on in the world, it was uplifting to know that despite Phillip's illness, with strength and the encouragement of people around him, he realised his dream.

Kerris (Sunday, 25 May 2025 18:56)

What an inspirational story. Was gripped listening to you on radio 4. Wonderful to hear your tales of Joseph Chamberlain (I had a great time there) and Dave Henson, he was also the choir lead at my secondary school and an inspiration to many. I still love singing in choirs today!

Rebecca Shaw (Sunday, 25 May 2025 17:02)

Thank you for such an incredibly moving interview. I was on the M5 on my way to see my 21 year old daughter ( born moderately deaf in both ears and wears hearing aids) who also sings on pitch and hid her disability when auditioning for her university acapella group Sweet Nothings. Needless to say, when my petrol light came on I chose to drive on to the next service station so I could hear the end of your inspirational life story. Thank you.

Madeline Shearing (Sunday, 25 May 2025 16:42)

In tears after hearing your amazing story on radio 4 so inspiring �

Yvette Browne (Sunday, 25 May 2025 16:32)

To my dear brother.
I am so proud of you. Although I know your story, it still moves me to hear it. You are such an inspiration to me and others. Your story needed to be told, and I'm so glad you told it as people need stories like yours to give them hope that dispite it all, dreams can come true. Well done.

Joan (Sunday, 25 May 2025 15:49)

Hi, heard you tell your amazing story on radio 4 and have been recounting it to family and friends. So inspiring. Thank you for sharing x

Mrs Joy Galley (Saturday, 24 May 2025 17:26)

After seeing Phillip on our recent cruise we couldn't wait to hear him on radio 4 on Friday. He is a fantastic performer and his show was a great hit with everyone on board. He enjoyed meeting people round about the ship and was only too happy to chat. Such a lovely person.

Sally Patterson (Saturday, 24 May 2025 11:52)

Phillip how wonderful to hear your story. Absolutely inspirational. My grandchildren are neurodiverse and struggle to fit in at school. I want them to listen to your story and inspire them never to give up on their dreams. X x x

Jennie Holland (Saturday, 24 May 2025 00:34)

What a wonderful story!
Both truly inspirational and entertaining as well.
I was listening on my car radio, and was shouting out when we heard of the deafness, and then grinning for miles when we then learnt what Phillip did with it!

John Cassidy (Friday, 23 May 2025 22:51)

Hello Phillip,
From a former London Bus Driver and now Mental Health Nurse; thanks so much for sharing your inspirational story on radio 4, I will encourage my family, friends and colleagues as well as people who use the NHS to listen; it will bring them hope.

Martin Davies (Friday, 23 May 2025 19:49)

Dear Philip. I've just listened to you talking with Sian Williams on Radio 4 'Life Changing'. Thank you for sharing your inspirational story. Your's is one of strength, perseverance and self-belief in the face of adversity. An example to all I shall carry the memory of your story as a shield whenever I am confronted with feelings of self-doubt or insurmountable odds. Thank you. Martin..

Sue Mayo (Friday, 23 May 2025 18:31)

Dear Phillip
I just heard you on radio 4. Thank you SO much!! My granddaughter who loves to perform has just lost her hearing and your story has given us all such hope. God bless you and keep you, Sue

Chris Atkins (Friday, 23 May 2025 18:17)

Amazing story on life changing, Philip! Thanks so much for telling your story. 26 years ago, my Mum nearly died of meningitis at the age of 60 but - thanks to a lot of prayer - was healed. She too lost all the hearing in one ear and a lot of what she had in the other one. But now, thanks to a cochlear implant she can hear better than she could after the illness, even though she is losing her sight to macular degeneration and so losing the ability to lip-read. But even now, she often talks about the importance of staying positive, and her faith helps. I must try to transcribe your interview because I know how much your story will speak to her.

Larry Williams (Friday, 23 May 2025 18:09)

A fantastic, inspiration episode of Life Changing!

Mushtaq (Friday, 23 May 2025 18:08)

Bro, you smashed it !!

Just listened to around 20+mins of your story on Radio4. Just got home and thought I need to find this guy and say what a story, what strong determined character, so many lovely people on your journey. You are so blessed. I know nothing more than the 20mins I heard, but feel you are and could be such an inspiration, role model to so many young people. JC college, brings back memories. Your brother, teacher(s), nurse, friend deserved a mention and thanks. And remember, don't give up the bus license, dad's watching. Respect.

Phil Smithson (Friday, 23 May 2025 18:02)

Just listened to your episode of Life Changing on Radio 4. What an absolute joy to delve into your story. I love your brother’s words to you in the club. Brilliant, thanks so much for sharing your journey, God bless you

Ann Barry-Krishnan (Friday, 23 May 2025 18:01)

Cheryl (Friday, 23 May 2025 17:53)

Hi Phillip - I was listening to Life Changing and suddenly realised the lovely person being interviewed was you! You might not remeber me, but I was one of the dressers in The Lion King back in the day…. Wow - your story is so inspiring and you came across brilliantly. Congratulations on your fantastic career - you truly deserve every success! Cheryl xx

Richard Lindner (Friday, 23 May 2025 15:02)

Hello Phil. I was so inspired by your story on Life Changing. I missed the beginning and, frustratingly, I cannot re listen to the episode as it’s not listed on BBC Iplayer.
The way you dealt with your hearing impairment was amazing. I have a 16yr old granddaughter who is totally deaf in one ear and partially deaf in the other. She loves musical theatre but struggles to be selected because of the difficulty singing in tune. Would you have any advice you could give her?

Darren (Wednesday, 21 May 2025 22:29)

Loved you on Radio 4 today. Glad to see others felt the same!

Jill Burford (Wednesday, 21 May 2025 20:10)

I listened to you telling your story on life changing on radio 4 this morning. I laughed and I cried as I listened to your inspiring and heartwarming account. Trying to share with friends who missed it but not possible for some reason !

Richard Cain (Wednesday, 21 May 2025 17:51)

Thoroughly enjoyed the BBC interview today. Some very funny and very poignant. Very uplifting

AntonB (Wednesday, 21 May 2025 16:34)

Just heard the BBC interview on 'Life changing'. Normally, in the car, I switch the radio off and go inside the house. But this story was so well told that I stayed in the car for half an hour.
PB should know that when he needs/wants extra work he can do voice-overs. His rendition of various other characters' voices, esp. of his father, was gifted.

Anna Macken (Wednesday, 21 May 2025 13:56)

Phillip thank you so much for sharing your story. It was so joyous to hear you, and to hear your journey especially when Mufasa's words became your own. I feel cheeky asking here in public but I wonder if you'd be interested in having a chat about our music work with children and young people?
My name's Anna
anna@wavesmusictherapy.com.
It would be lovely to hear from you.
Thanks again for sharing your story, it really made my day. All the best with your onward journey!

Bonnie and Jerry Stowe (Friday, 11 April 2025 07:50)

Aloha, Phillip,
This may not be the best way to contact you, but I'm hoping you will see this message.
When we first saw you on the Riviera in 2023, we were blown away by your voice!
Then we were lucky enough to not only see you again on the Vista last year but also had a great time taking you to dinner.
Please let us know when you'll be on another Oceania ship. We're boarding the Vista on May 1st and have 22 more booked so hope to see you soon.
We'd love to take you to dinner again.
Love and Aloha,
Bonnie

What a show brilliant from beginning to the end. First time we saw Phillip was about seven years ago on a ship not sure which one but we will never forget him
.So what a treat to see him again on the Sky princess this April 2022. He comes from our neck of the woods Birmingham. My Husband worked at Moseley Hall Hospital where Phillip’s Mother spent some time recovering. What a small world. Fantastic person as well as excellent singer.

I still play your CD you kindly signed for me and hope one day to see your show again you are a brilliant entertainer.. all the best for the future Jackie Bailey.... I have tried to join your Facebook page but no response.

Judy Kocinski (Wednesday, 02 October 2019 07:31)

My husband and I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Browne preform on the Star Princess, last week. We saw all three shows and enjoyed everyone more than the last. I had the distinct pleasure of dancing with you as you sang Beauty and the Beast. What a wonderful experience for me. Your voice is mesmerizing and vocal range is incredible! We are so enjoying listening to your CD and reliving that magical evening. Continued success in all you future endeavors. You are a true entertainer in every sense of the word. Hoping your tour brings you to Pittsburgh, Pa. I will be first in line for tickets.

JEANNETTE & bILL HAGAN (Sunday, 22 September 2019 22:57)

Your performance on the Regal Princess was nothing short of magnificent. We are the couple who had lunch with you. Please let us know when you are in New York again. You did Mr. Robeson proud. Have a safe journey and we wish very best.

Ali Todd (Monday, 02 September 2019 00:05)

Your performance on the Sapphire Princess on 29 August was amazing. As I said to you I thought it was only Michael Ball's voice that could make the hair on the back of my neck stand up but now I know your voice can too. Thoroughly enjoyed the show. Good luck with everything you do.

Bill (Wednesday, 21 August 2019 21:35)

Absolutely a fantastic show on the Celebrity Reflection this evening!!!! Phillip has a an exceptional voice and an extremely wide grasp of vocalist whose songs he sings. His rendition of the Circle of Life is superb and second to none. You’ll be very lucky and pleased if you have an opportunity to hear him sing!!!

Diana (Monday, 05 August 2019 09:42)

Absolutely wowed by your performance on the Sapphire Princess recently. Your singing and your charisma on stage was exceptional. You are very talented and it does not surprise me with all the performances you have been in. It was lovely sharing about your journey and your family too.

Fabulous show on Sapphire Princess last week. What an amazing voice and your connection with the audience was palpable. Every song was heartfelt and was communicated to everyone

Christine & Harry Taylor (Monday, 29 July 2019 18:57)

Samantha Bailey (Friday, 26 July 2019 14:32)

Simply one word ‘AMAZING’, saw your performance onboard Sapphire Princess and then had the pleasure of meeting you! For me, your Lion king section brought tears to my eyes, but what an overall talent you have vocally and what a fabulous sense of humour and connection with your audience! 5 star performance from beginning to end!!

Jennifer-Sue turner (Saturday, 20 July 2019 22:20)

I was on the Baltic cruise in April, with the Jolly dollies a group of young widows. One of my friends when she went for lunch said she had heard this incredible voice behind her chatting to some one she couldn't resist turning around and commenting on his voice. to which he commented I'm your singer tonight. Wow, front seats in the theatre. well we where blown away Mr Philip Browne your are a star. We have photo's taken with you and bought your C.D, You sang stay as sweet as you are and danced with my friend Heather, her feet still have not touched the floor. A most memorable evening.

Alan Medvin (Wednesday, 17 July 2019 01:46)

Phillip is a sensational entertainer with a great voice with incredible vocal range. We enjoyed his shows immensely on Oceania’s Sirena. And he’s a great and genuine person as well. His smile lights up the room whether he’s on stage or off.

Heather & Mike (Sunday, 30 June 2019 00:00)

Meeting Phillip on the Sapphire Princess added an extra bonus to our cruise! His amazing talents are a fantastic treat. His sultry vocal tones are mesmerizing and if you close your eyes and just listen to his music there is no telling where your inner musician will go! Continued blessings to you and your family. Mike and I look forward to seeing you again!

Julie, Christine, Paul, James and Anita (Saturday, 29 June 2019 13:41)

Phillip Browne - what can we say?? We first met you in the audience on board Sapphire Princess in April 2019. From the moment we met you, you had a wonderful smile and so much charisma and when you said you were performing on the stage the next night we could not wait to go and get our seats!!! You are a truly an amazing guy with a voice there are simply no words for and when you sang Amazing Grace in the middle of the theatre you could have heard a pin drop. We listen to your CD and it takes us all back to that evening - We can't wait for the tour!!! May all your dreams come true xxx Hope to meet onboard again one day xxx

Terry Byrne (Saturday, 29 June 2019 11:27)

I first met Mr Phillip Browne on board Azura in 2015 when we chatted over a coffee, I am so glad I did. We went to his show that evening when he invited my very recently married daughter and her new husband up on stage to recreate their first dance.
What a show, my wife and I were blown away by his amazing voice and incredible stage presence. In particular, his own song, Butterflies, was so emotional, beautifully sung and with an amazing piano background, I will never forget that song on that night. I was hooked and as for my wife, I now understand the expression 'to go weak at the knees'.
We have remained in touch, we saw Phil next when he played Caiaphas in Jesus Christ Superstar at the Regents Park Theartre, his performance and that incredible deep voice captivated the audience.
Then he played Molokov alongside Michael Ball in Chess at the London Coliseum, a superb show, his voice suited the part perfectly and his performance and presence held the audience.
I look forward to seeing Phil on stage soon.
To add to this Phillip is just a really nice person and family man, he always has time with a winning smile and great personality, add this to true talent and you have a perfect combination. It an honour to know him.

Diane Webb (Saturday, 29 June 2019 08:49)

We were blown away with Phillip Browne!!A true star and a genuine gentleman .His performance on the Sapphire Princess cruise was unforgettable !His vocal range was unbelievable !,his acting skills were magic ,his charisma and stage presence was mesmerising.we were blessed to have witnessed such talent !!and wanted to watch him over and over !!Go Phil and dream bigger !!!

Amanda Dunkerton (Saturday, 29 June 2019 08:38)

We met Phill on Princess Sapphire. An amazing performer. Met him afterwards and around the ship. He is such a lovely guy who clearly loves his fans. Good luck Phill on your journey and we hope to see him again. x

Heather Maguire (Saturday, 29 June 2019 04:50)

We saw Phillip on Sapphire Princess on her Baltic Cruise in May and thoroughly enjoyed his show, his command of the stage is fabulous and his amazing voice! just makes the hair on your neck stand up. He’s a true showman.

Noelleen and Gordon (Saturday, 29 June 2019 04:46)

A great web page Phillip, we really like it... XX

Noelleen and Gordon (Saturday, 29 June 2019 04:36)

G'day Phillip, thank you for your wonderful entertainment on the Sapphire Princess up in the Baltic, you do have an amazing gift in your voice, acting and entertaining, oh and that bus ha ha, Gordon and I by some unknown reason crossed each other paths, not knowing each other out on the outside walk way of the ship, just as we went out to get some fresh air, when there was this bloke standing there with a suitcase waiting (you), so went over to you and I said to you, hey mate so are you leaving us already? thinking you where one of the staff on board, then you explained who and why you where there, funny little world isn't it really. Oh mean't to say we where so touched with the photos and story you told us, so proudly of your wonderful family. Chat soon, love from these two Aussies Down Under, and as they say in the entertainment world "beak a leg" strange saying � from Noelleen and Gordon and family XOXO's

Alan Parrington (Saturday, 29 June 2019 01:57)

We loved seeing Phillip's show on Cunard's Queen Victoria cruise to St. Petersburg Russia in May and along with the other two thousand guests were happy to see him held over for an encore show. Mr. Browne has that charismatic appeal, smile, and majestic bass voice and love of an audience that has audiences wishing his show time would go on and on. Fun, exciting, up-lifting, memorable.
