Play Me I'm Yours

First appearing in 2008 this brilliant summer artwork by Luke Jerram is here again this summer. 21 pianos around the streets of London City there for anyone to play. This one at Bartholomew Hospital turned into a fabulous impromptu concert. A talented pianist was joined by a saxophonist and guitar player.

  3. It's a fab idea, already liked it last year. Wish I'd been there to listen to this impromptu duo.

  5. Fresh and easy city, caring about people who live in it.

  6. Who knows, maybe Joshua Bell will turn up as he did in a New York subway and accompany one of the piano players!

  7. I stumbled up a girl playing the Piano, overlooking Tower Bridge on Saturday, what a setting, shame about her piano playing abilities though..!

  11. Great idea. At one time a high percentage of people would have been able to play the piano as so many hosueholds had one - but I think far fewer have the skill these days, much less any talent at it.
