Inspirational & Emotional Original Composition From Brad | The Piano Series 2

[@Romcom356]

I cried watching this, and said if he didn’t get through, I would bombarded Mike and Lang Lang on Twitter to help him. An amazing young man who has pulled himself up, with the inestimable help of his foster parents. What amazing people they are. What an incredible man he is. Go Brad!

[@brendanicolson7259]

The Piano programme is the best thing that's happened for years. So many talented people from across the world being heard. Amazing. Brad is blessed and shone through for me from the first day. I believe God is running through him and his good kind heart, and like the hymn Amazing Grace, with the line , "I once was lost but now I'm found " resonates here. I was moved when I first seen Brad on the show playing in the centre. I prayed that he would win, although I did love all the performers and their stories, and amazing performances. Brad is sensitive, and when the group of players accompanied him on Strings, you could see him become inspired, engrossed and enveloped, as if almost feeling his dream ignite into reality as a flame of light in the darkness, illuminating his future path. This young man, Brad, is the voice that speaks for thousands of unheard young people's voices, who have been in care, and "felt invisible, a number" - until..... Eve and Frank came into his and his brother's lives. The trauma that they experienced as children, clinging for dear life on the metal railings, scared of where they have been taken to. However, with time, patience and the loving, steadfast care and loving support that Brad and his brother were given by Eve and Frank, and their unwavering encouragement, Brad has shown that his own passion, perseverance, and positivity has paid off, and, has been acknowledged by Lang Lang the best, and rewarded enormously. Brad is compassionate and obviously a loving husband and father. I will definitely follow Brad's journey I hope that Lang Lang will continue to coach Brad to play to his full potential. I also hope that Lang Lang will transcribe Brad's musical compositions into sheet music for Brad, and facilitate having this sheet music published.And that a recording company will record Brad playing his music for sale. The sales generated will enable Brad to become a philanthropist, and help to inspire and support other children and young people to follow their dreams too, as well as give Brad a platform for pursuing his own long held dream of becoming a music composer for screen and film. I believe that Brad will quickly be able to interpret the film writer's themes, and convey this powerfully to global audiences. I was truly moved by Brad, and believe it was not a chance encounter, to be discovered by Lang Lang - but rather, it was God's spiritual and Divine plan given to Brad with Love...... God bless you Brad, and all your lovely family. Sincerely, Omi 😊

If the world was full of Brads we wouldn’t be in the mess we are today. Amazingly grounded and gifted for such a young lad. I really hope he achieves all of his dreams. Apart from his talent I could listen to him all day. The bloke is adorable and clearly loved to bits by his family.

[@sharonhindson8040]

My sentiments exactly Harry. Brad is a beautiful soul who plays with his heart ❤ we are all truly blessed to witness this .

[@CatherineMunro-ht8nh]

These people are so amazing. Brad's Foster parents are so special. These are the people who deserve awards

[@tommytucker9299]

Brad is a very special young man. He exudes warmth and love and possesses a sound philosophy of life. I was so moved watching him and I sincerely hope he will go far. Brad deserves happiness and good fortune in abundance.

[@eloisedetanaia]

Brad’s a very very special human being

[@CBCB78]

Outstanding. Done the city of Liverpool proud

[@macien2058]

Makes me cry. What a great guy? And so grateful to his foster parents, he & his brother are blessed with their foster parents God is great.

[@kingy002]

Is this the same God that left him without his original parents, for whatever reason? You people make me laugh prattling on about how great God is, when he has had a hand in millions of children being placed in foster care.

I would go and watch this lad play - i hope he achieves his dream of composing for film scores. I'd love to see his name on the credits of a film, reminds me of Hans Zimmer. He was inspirational in this

Well done Brad! Well done to your wonderful foster parents too!

[@kayo1019]

He’s been given a gift from God himself. He is absolutely brilliant….. Wow ! Good on you lad YNWA 👍

[@daireoshea6107]

I think Brad is amazing. There is so much emotion and love when he talks. But he infuses his music with the same emotion and love. I’m delighted he won.

[@HPB1776]

OMG, this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life. What an absolutely amazing young man. Amazingly handsome, humble, honest and a genius with such strength and tenacity. As a mum of a child adopted from care, well done to your wonderful foster parents. Such a very difficult job but the rewards have come back to them 1000x. What an inspirational person you are Brad. I'm in floods of tears and in awe of you. Love from Manchester. ❤

[@keanekathyandgigi]

You are a beautiful young man with a great heart and your gift is stunning! Enjoy your special moments in the show! Know you have fans and if I ever Write a movie your the composer! Definately!

[@mlwhepfiorino3392]

Many People use their circumstances as an excuse to continue down a negative road. Shows how hope and strength can turn things around.

[@nr6366]

Well done young man. You are a inspiration to us all.

[@HappiestFirstMan]

this guy needs an album release for his composed music.

[@TheLtData]

This composition is like his life he described: rough, bold, stuck at first than opening up and more bright followed by searching for more openness and enjoyment. It's wonderful. The abrupt ending is like he's still looking for a future destination. Great!

[@stevenbatley8666]

Many go the wrong way,but a great credit to him and his foster parents 👏

[@ronvalente65]

I watched the first series of the piano and i loved it, it just shows just what talent is about and Piano gives them a chance to shine, Brad is an example of people with a natural talent and I hope he does well.

[@OP-kz1gt]

Bringing me into tears listening Brad playing 💐💐💐

[@issakariet558]

Waw, these foster parents and then the gratefullnes of the fosterson ... what an absolute beautifull story!! Love these people!!

[@Mikapopolsku]

Another beautiful episode about love and music.

[@sarahblackney9778]

Your music is so moving. Please keep on writing for us

[@SalRoden]

Love your story . Wish you all the best for your future. You are really talented.😊

[@jeremiahkerry]

Anybody with sufficient resources could become proficient in playing the piano. This was a happy story of two yoingsrters taken into the Liverpool child care system and welcomed by a mature couple who cared for and encouraged them to pursue their dreams. It is a tale of victory over sad circumstances and I’d love to hear their carers’ story along the way and any obstacles they overcame in nurturing both of the brothers along the way. This youngster was chosen because he overcame struggles against the odds and emerged triumphantly.

[@michellefarrell7950]

I am trying to find out brads full name....his music is AMAZING and I am sharing it...to every one I know....WHAT A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG MAN AND HIS STORY WOULD CHANGE PEOPLE'S LIVES LOVE MICHELLE FROM GLASGOW ❤❤❤❤

[@PonytailRuth]

We are also much older Foster Carers and stories like this melt my heart. We too try our absolute best to give our young people all we possibly can to help them succeed in life.

[@xjennytx]

@@michellefarrell7950 it’s Brad kellaher

[@B777-f7i]

This young man is much more than "proficient" on piano, he is closer to the musical genius level. He is completely untrained and is self taught. Incredible!

[@CatherineWright-yx8fj]

Extremely talented. I could listen to Brad for hours. What a fantastic TV programme giving people the opportunity to shine. Phenomenal 👏👏👏💙🙏

[@leehorrocks5253]

Utterly amazing, Brad... a worthy winner amongst a stage full of talent... If still think that you are a number mate, it's number 1.....outstanding talent, I look forward to hearing more from you, and I'm sure that I will, Congratulations and best wishes 👏👏👏👏

.. some souls are blessed with a precious gift to create music that maybe comes from angels. Listen to contemporary composers Max Richter, Luke Howard, Michael Hoppe for confirmation and comparison, but always remain yourself, Brad. Every success to you ❤

[@derekcooney6576]

Very impressive !

[@Glazier-nm4gn]

Brad ... Mate , you have the talent and class of one of the greats .... Michel Legrand ... Without any uncertainty you have the talent and genius that this great film composer/jazz pianist had and you will go on to greater things... If you have never listened to Legrand then take listen to his movie themes..... It is just you in waiting and maybe with the Scots lass who sang beautifully about her sister there is a combination of class that could create a real never lost in time theme....

When he comes into t bar and says I DID IT I was in the same moment as when Billy reads his acceptance letter into t royal ballet school. Wish he’d told t police to come and see what he was up to instead of telling them. Right slap on t a*se

[@DocChrome]

OMG WELL DONE SO MUCH.

[@andrewmackay1350]

I love this show and this chap Brad has some wonderful harmony. This rendition and what he played in the concert remind me of film orchestral scores. However, I am not totally in favour of the vocalists. Afterall this is a piano "competition" and it should stick to this

[@johnconnor955]

Makes me proud to be a scouser Amazing

[@HPB1776]

100% he looks and sounds like a Beatle too. Just one of the best things I've ever seen and I'm from Manchester. I'm bawling 😭

[@LS-eo5hg]

Also his composition was something like the snowman animation. He would b awesome playing to an animation of his own story, a silent cartoon. Raymond Briggs if ur stil with us please take it on

[@user-qh8nh7oe6d]

Sadly Raymond Briggs died, but know exactly what you mean. I really hope Brad can win, he is special

This was great and welldone Brad I do however wish they would stop the focus being our life stories. I remember when other talent shows started doing it and it essentially makes it seem like the person with the saddest story gets through most times. Last time Darya from Ukraine now Brad. Actually this guy was talented and we could have found all this out after the judges made their decision based solely on talent... @ThePiano

[@NG-wx4kw]

Agreed. I wanted to listen to his music, which was interrupted by his interview.

[@jpc3603]

@@NG-wx4kw exactly, same. I also think we could hear so many more pianists each episode if they cut these types of interviews
