topoxforddoc Posted May 21, 2019 Share #1 Posted May 21, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Move over Billy Joel - this is the real Piano Man - Denis Robinson aged 91, who plays twice a week on the public pianos at St Pancras International train station in London. He plays for 90 mins before lunch and 90 mins after lunch. Lunch involves dodging the traffic, as he crosses Euston Road to the pub - no mean feat for a 91 year old. He used to collect money for charity, until the Police stopped him, as part of the drive to stop begging in the train station. But he carries on, as his playing provides moments of happiness for passers by. A few weeks ago, he became an internet sensation with 15m hits, as one of the cast from West End Musical,Cats, wandered by and sang a duet. The BBC have been to film him for Sings of Praise showing on Fathers Day. A film crew flew over from Japan as well. M10 35 pre-asph Lux Welcome, dear visitor!
