'Pianoscapes'
"A perfect hour in a parallel universe"...
"Special & poignant"... "So eclectic and engaging, great concert"
A monthly feast of soul-food since Sept 2017,
'Pianoscapes' continues to unite wide-ranging repertoire with music-hungry listeners.
"Great concert on Sunday, moved to tears... can't remember when that happened before!"
"The hour of relaxation and beautiful music was so lovely on Sunday that I had my best night's sleep in months"
"These concerts are beautiful, and a real education... do go along if you can."

Audience numbers are limited due to the social-distancing requirements. The room will be well-ventilated and you are requested to wear a mask when moving about the space... but not necessary during the concert.
The confusion caused by the recent 'Rule Of Six' has now been clarified, and we now know that this is directed towards groups of people who are 'socialising' (parties, barbecues etc) - whereas organised activities that abide by Covid-proofing rules, and that are led by professionals, can continue as before. This means that, in line with members of the public being permitted to access restuarants, pubs, galleries, musuems, schools, workplaces and other similar places and situations, Covid-proofed live performances of music can go ahead. Test-and-tracing is mandatory, so we'll need to make a note of your details when you come in.
We can't use the kitchen but Paula's amazing cakes will be still be there for you, as before; and if you bring your own mug we can dispense tea and coffee from our own water boiler!
As in all previous 'Pianoscapes', I'll be playing an eclectic & exciting mixture of music: from the music of Bach, Chopin and Schumann, via jazz and electronic soundscapes, to spontaneous piano improvisation created especially for the occasion...
Please email me for tickets (£10) - remember, numbers are limited so it is a case of 'first come, first served'. Don't miss out!
