I'm a classically trained pianist up to grade 8 standard...this changed direction however, when I was introduced to the work of Keith Jarrett at the age of 18 and I discovered improv, jazz, rock and blues piano. You can safely say I've never looked back since...
You can see/hear me playing live in second life under the name of Dandy Pianoman (pianoman1968). I play a mix of original songs and cover versions without the aid of backing tracks, including guitar and loops. I am also a member of the rock covers band "Strangers" (strangers.org.uk) as their keyboard player.
Oh yeah, and that's the inside of my 1960 Broadwood in the picture :-).
