Byron was born in 1949 in Risca, Gwent, South Wales - hence the name of The Welsh Wizard. As a child, he showed great promise on the piano, and then later on the organ. He played in a local church, and developed his style over the years. Whilst still at school, Byron played at the local chapel, and then progressed to the working mens clubs of Wales when he was a teenager, and accompanied many of the big stars who came to Wales appearing in cabaret - Donald Peers, Ruby Murray and many more. He later progressed to the larger clubs, where he would be engaged to play for artistes straight from the London Palladium. Since then, and over the last twenty years, Byron has played for many Summer Season Spectacular shows, made countless radio broadcasts and made many television appearances, as well as making his own records and tapes. Byron has his own Music Society of some six hundred members, and is very well patronized at all of his performances.

Byron's main work is playing for organ societies the length and breadth of Britain, but he also plays for many dance venues for ballroom and sequence dancing. Also his organ expertise is much sought after for performances at organ festivals. For the past twelve years Byron has produced his own music festivals each year.
