A PIANO PLAYER'S TALE...

Chris was playing at the well renowned

Bombay Brasserie in Kensington, West London back in September 2015, when a lady approached him at the end of his set to compliment him.


“Chris - congratulations on your brilliant piano playing which shall long be remembered”.  After a brief conversation, it turned out that the lady in question was called Corinne, who was fan club secretary of the much celebrated Liberace at the height of his fame. That's some compliment!
