Whilst there he learnt to play the drums and later formed his own dance band, briefly known as Robert Luff and the Piccadilly Players until he received a writ from a lawyer representing the more famous Piccadilly Players. As a keen fan of big band music, he eventually branched out into booking bands in and around his home town.〔 In 1995 he was appointed CBE for his services to charity,〔 such as the St John Ambulance. Luff also invested large sums of his own money in the Royal Brompton Hospital, for research into Cystic Fibrosis.
