The Street Pianist
Welcome to The Street Pianist! A celebration of all the delightful musicians who play street piano, even when nobody’s listening.
I'm Clare Sudbery (@ClareSudbery on Insta and, well, pretty much everywhere). I'm an amateur singer and pianist, and after appearing on season 2 of The Piano TV show in 2024, I discovered just how many street pianists there are with great stories to tell.
Every now and then, I'll be sharing another interview with one of the many pianists I've encountered on my regular musical wanderings.
