25.01.2022 Tune in to ArtsSoundFM this afternoon at 2pm for the live broadcast of the ACT Young Virtuoso competition. I'll be on piano accompaniment duties for local budding double bass star Hayley Manning, playing music by Adolf Misek and the hilariously named Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf*! Stream available here: http://www.artsound.fm/event/act-young-virtuoso-award/

17.01.2022 Brushing up on Ravel's 'The Valley of Bells' to play at Classical Capers tomorrow night at Smith's Alternative. If you ever found yourself wishing there was a mid-week classical version of an open mic night in civic, you're in luck! Starts at 7pm. Here's a bootleg recording of the impossibly great Sviatoslav Richter playing the same piece in the 50's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XEklGdRT6c. https://www.facebook.com/events/1326234867487660/
17.01.2022 Teacher: 'Good. Now play it again, but this time make your fingers look sometimes like running legs and sometimes like spiders' Student: 'That seems very specific and a bit pointless, but okay' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb_2O6yAltQ

10.01.2022 I'm never quite so thankful for the internet as when I stumble across a video of a man being put on the spot and made to play the Darth Vader theme in the style of Beethoven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IshINI7uGpE
07.01.2022 When you open the piano to practise but you've forgotten that all the insides of the piano have been sent off to the workshop to be regulated.

02.01.2022 Spotted the following comment on a Youtube video of a concert pianist: "Look how sausagesome his fingers are. Fantastic! I love seeing/hearing first class pianists with sausage fingers. It's like seeing a pig hang-gliding. Lovely ". There are apparently a lot of ways to keep an audience happy.
