Christmas piano bar and projects

A couple of social media things over Christmas to note: Sebastian Dupuis is working his way through Liszt solo piano albums on YouTube, it’s very enjoyable and watching him play is always a pleasure.

Gavan Reilly, one of the leading political journalists in Ireland, took an hour out of his family Christmas to sit and play internet piano bar from requests sent in via Instagram while he was streaming. It’s an interesting idea. It demonstrated the extent to which I don’t know pop culture (I know very few tv themes, for example). But he put out a fair few tunes and raised over 3000 euro for charity. He did it by ear as well, so fair play to Gav for that.

I will add links for both later.
