    Piano Playtime is fun for all

    Bruce Gardiner and Lloy Brent entertained a mostly senior citizen audience at the Presbyterian Church on Sunday afternoon in a fundraiser held in aid of the Brookshaw Home.

    Bruce Gardiner and Lloy Brent entertained a mostly senior citizen audience at the Presbyterian Church on Sunday afternoon in a fundraiser held in aid of the Brookshaw Home.

    The show, aptly named Piano Playtime, featured the two keyboard magicians from East London playing a wide range of music on two pianos. For some numbers they played on their own pianos, but for other songs they joined up for a duet on the same keyboard.

    Gardiner introduced most of the songs with light hearted banter, often cracking jokes at his own expense. While most songs came from way back when, there was no lack of variety from the Tenessee Waltz and Charmaine, to a Fats Waller’s Alligator Crawl, a boogie or two and a wonderful arrangement of the works of Andrew Lloyd Webber. 

    Gardiner proudly said that Brent was originally his student many decades ago, but that now they do shows together about once a week.

    Brent teaches brass and woodwind instruments at Selborne Primary in East London and also coaches a singing group where she sometimes performs with Gardiner, her long time mentor.
