Billy has been psychic since he was a child when seeing so-called dead people was commonplace to him. Billy left school in 1962 to live the dream, playing lead guitar in a rock band touring Europe with some of the biggest names in the world of music. He was forced to return to the UK in 1970 when his growing use of narcotics caused his health and childhood illness to deteriorate. It was at the lowest part of his life that the 'Spirit World' came back with a vengeance, and although now very ill, he just knew that he was not going to die. Billy began serving Spiritualist Churches all over the UK. He soon became nationally known and respected, and in 1984 he established The Thought Workshop, the North West of England's first Centre for Psychic and Spiritual Studies and Alternative Therapies. In 2003 he opened the Billy Roberts Paranormal Study Centre in Penny Lane, London. Also in 2003 he was commissioned by Sony Games to feature in a documentary to promote their new Playstation 2 Game Ghost Hunter, filmed at various locations in New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. Since then he has appeared on television worldwide and has more recently spent 12 months on the popular television programme Most Haunted. He has currently been working on a new television series Living with Angels and Demon.
