I don’t know how I stumbled on these videos but I love this guy, I guess I am drawn to his genuine interest in people, and uses the Love other people have for the piano along with his own to bring strangers together. This ladies excitement literally brings tears to my eyes, Not out of pity for sure, just because it made me realize that we aren’t so different from other people, but there is an effort to keep good people separated. I pray it fails, and know good people like Brendan are holding it back! God bless and protect this man, and any who find him!

He is a professional pianist and tutor. But likes to make out sometimes that he doesn't know how to play and then goes into the pro mode. He is brilliant and funny. Be careful though because watching him on youtube can become addictive. look for his mate Terry miles as well.
