    As a piano player myself, it always bugged me I couldnt just go along to any open mic nights, then I had this idea one day, so Im glad it has sparked some interest. I later bought a stage piano and it bugged me even more that I couldnt get to gig nights due to the sheer size and weight of the keys + gig bag!

    In September, were going to hit Trinity, DIT, UCD and let the music students know about open mic piano nights, get up and do your bit on the baby grand.
    Hopefully, it will give piano players out there that bit more exposure.
