Thanks folks, I enjoyed doing that one. Come and have a chat next time, if you’re not rushing for a train.

No, when MDWat called you a penis, that's not what he meant.

He's brilliant and I used to be pretty good on piano

Nah I was a classically trained one.

Moonlight Sonata, that sort of stuff.

Oddly it was easier for me to learn that and The Entertainer than it was Imagine by Lennon.

Having worked in London for 30 odd years I've seen a good few stop and play in St Pancras, but that guy is seriously good.

This guy often plays in Stevenage and I'm always compelled to stop, listen and drop a few coins in his case,

I’d have to stop, seeing someone play the piano like that.

I actually find the music he’s playing really annoying, but he’s obviously really skilled.

There wouldn't even be a need to ask the question.

If you like that sort of thing then this guy has a cult following. He often plays at the same piano

He's a bit of a joker and usually pretends he cant play, but his interactions with the public can be quite funny

I agree he can play, but I am amazed how well setup the piano is. It is perfectly in tune and has no missing keys or anything. Somebody either tunes it regularly and looks after it or it was set up specially for the guy.
