Great night playing at The Theatre Royal's Green Room for the launch of their new restaurant menu. The food looked incredible so get yourselves down there!

Fantastic night at Bonner's Newcastle last week for their event with the insanely good Joe Webb, absolutely outrageously talented player in a showroom that continues to impress every time I go there! I believe Joe and I may have the same hairdresser too! ๐Ÿคฃ

In between a hundred and one different gigs, I got to watch the great Jean-Efflam Bavouzet perform Ravel yesterday at The Sage. I have been lucky enough to meet Maestro Bavouzet on multiple occasions, and was even pretty for many of his Chandos recordings. A simply transcendent pianist.

As it turns out seven gigs in three days is too many gigs ๐Ÿ˜‚

Most venue closures donโ€™t happen because no one turns up. They happen because someone bought the building next door, submitted a planning application, and didnโ€™t want to hear people milling around after 10pm.

James Mulligan has issued a copyright strike against my YouTube channel for reporting his usage of genAI to create comic covers and Disney Lorcana cards.

This is a blatant misuse of YouTube's copyright system and a shallow attempt at burying his genAI usage.

I'm not sure what to do next...

Haha yeah it comes and goes, I know my way around MIDI pretty well but I'm no expert so knocking things up with just the piano is often quicker and easier, especially since solo piano stuff means I can perform it on my own. Every so often I'll get a few comms come through at the same time though!

Ahh thanks bud, you're far too kind! There's always going to be assholes out there sadly I suppose, I am lucky that a vast majority of the folks I interact with regularly are awesome people!
