We have another fabulous event coming to the School of Arts on Saturday 6th October 2012 at 5pm - the Duelin' Piano Show!
It's been a growing phenomenon over about three years. The show engages from the first note as pianists Hughie Scott-Murray and Michael McGlynn take their places either side of former Keith Urban drummer Peter Clarke. Not only is the playing note perfect, the singing from both Michael and Hughie is superb and the drumming amazing. Michael's strength as a vocalist is truly dazzling and his piano skills are similarly incredible.
There is no set list but a book containing 380 song titles, slips of paper for punters to write their requests on and a whole lot of musical expertise. Short of death metal, doof and opera, just about every genre is covered. Hughie says it is the most fun - borne largely from the shows contagious spontaneity.

Hughie first stumbled across the duelling piano concept at O'Brien's Bar in New Orleans in 2000 where it had been rolling almost nightly since he 1940's. Hughie says it's the most fun - borne largely from the shows contagious spontaneity. He said he loves the idea of breathing life back into the old country halls and getting small communities to party with the help of some fine music.
