Ronnie Browne

Ronald Grant Browne (born 20 August 1937), known as The Voice, is a Scottish musician and songwriter, who is a founding member of The Corries.

Aside from singing, Browne's other abilities are painting, sketching and rugby, having once played as a winger for his secondary school Boroughmuir.

This led to meeting multi-instrumentalist Bill Smith at Edinburgh College of Art in 1955 and the formation of the Corrie Folk Trio in 1962.

Williamson's instrument featured a basic guitar fingerboard with a bandurria attached and sympathetic resonating strings.

As of 27 April 2015, Browne announced that due to emotional breakdowns during performances, he has put an end to singing in public.
