One of my favourite interviews, which you can still hear on BBC Sounds, was conducted by Dr Anthony Clare in 1997 for his brilliant Radio 4 series In The Psychiatrist's Chair.
Professor Ivor Browne, who has died aged 94, was a leading psychiatrist who held senior positions in the Irish health system and in the academic world as well as being a talented musician. Born on March 18, 1929 at 1 Sandycove Avenue in south Co Dublin, he was christened with the first names William Ivory.
