I'm afraid I won't be able to make it, but I hope it goes well and you and the audience enjoy it.
Thank you! It did go well. The concert was filmed and recorded live, so I will upload some videos of the concert on my website (www.icarus3.com). I promise to do it by Thursday 27th July.
Thanks again for your kind wishes.

I'm in Germany so I can't come, but I wish you all the best! I think it's great that you're donating the money, by the way!
Good luck!

Thanks for your words of encouragement! I've always donated all the money from my concerts to charity and will continue to do so until the day I die.
Take care,

Yes. Good luck!

Thanks! Can't believe how many of you have supported me.

All the best for it, it sounds like a great opportunity. Did you organise it all yourself?
Yes I did, with the help of my 'team'. Without them, I would not have been able to organise it and we would not have had a packed hall. Organising a piano recital is not as hard as you think. The most important thing is marketing. I've built up a following over the years and that helps too. I chose the Warehouse because it has one of the finest pianos in London (Steinway model D) in excellent condition; the venue has incredile acoustics too.

Good luck to you. I hope it turns out to be wonderful.
Btw, How did you organize it ?? Did you pay for it or you are sponsored by someone or what??
It turned out well. I mean, I always play better at home, but it wasn't bad. In truth, I'm never satisfied completely, but I've learned not to let myself down and appreciate how lucky I am just to perform in front of an attentive audience.
Yes, I organised the concert myself, but I had good people helping me distribute flyers, spread the word etc... I was also able to email over 2000 people with an interest in music.
I did try to find a sponsor but couldn't in the end. So I had to bear the cost myself.
If you want guidance on organising your own piano recital, don't hesitate to contact me.
Take care,
