- The title is pretty self explanatory. This is a Boogie Woogie piano improvisation in the style of Meade Lux Lewis and Albert Ammon played on an out of tune piano in St Pancras Station London! This was performed after I had bumped into Brendan Kavanagh! Thanks Moumen for filming! The quality is superb! Enjoy!

Theo Your style , technique and tone keep me coming back for more.
Thanks "Papa" haha! I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your continuous support!
Whats wrong with everyone, are they tone deaf?
Thanks for bringing us some of your wonderful Boogie Woogie. Glad you had chance to meet Dr K. Like you I learned how to play by ear in just a few years. You could say I got the bug. Now i'm dedicated to teaching others from beginner to intermediate. Click on my logo, if you get a moment.
Nice! I've seen a few of your videos! They're awesome! Apologies for the late reply. 😆
Saw this one again recently, and just have say when you play boogie everything is completely locked in . Second nature , smooth . So controlled. Unbelievable!!! So much feeling . Just crazy good man .
Thanks Albert!
Love your rollicking Boogie Woogie playing! 👏🏻😄
Imagine Palestinian people playing boogie woogie..
Hoping you are still jamming out! New sub
Amazing. Everyone must be in a terrible hurry. I am surprised how few people even look let alone stop to enjoy!
I agree. It is an airport so I guess most people were busy trying to catch their flights, but I still would’ve tried to stop and enjoy the moment at least for a second.
@@bderrick4944 it's not an airport. It's a train station
Slynell1 Oh srry
Damn... Monster haahah
Come to Brazil pls :D
I love your style.. your left hand has a light bouncy rhythm to it.. the overall tone is cool. Hope to hear more from you someday.
Thanks!
Boogie makes us all feel good Theophilus keep Brendan on his toes you are both brilliant.
Thanks John and boogie woogie certainly does make us all feel good as it is very joyful! Keep grooving!
@@theophilusmartins Thanks Theophilus you keep grooving too!!!
THEO IS MUCH MUCH BETTER BOOGIE WOOGIE PIANIST THAN BORING BRENDAN... FULL STOP.
@@dipakchoudhuri4629 They are different ages and Brendan is a master as Theo is ! No comparison my friend both have huge talent and groovy looking men and are show stoppers ? I luv their differences and it makes my heart sing 🙋
Perfect rhythm & I love the way you play with the quarter tones
Thanks Pete, I'm glad you like my playing!
I enjoy your music as much as Dr. K and Terry Miles. How does Professor Theo or Dr. T sound to you?! You are really good!!!
Haha regular Theophilus is fine as I'm not the doctor of anything. I dont have a PhD in anything either.
King Theo it is.
@@sinsemilla9876 haha I appreciate that kind comment friend but I'm also no king.
King Theo the humble
@@bderrick4944 Thanks Blake!
Theophilus, fantastic performance of this boogie woogie piece! You play this style perfectly, thank you for sharing, I am glad I came across you today and look forward to listening to more!
Thanks Kyle! I love your channel too. I love that you're using it for God's glory! I hope to do the same too as I'm also a believer but I dont know that many hymns. God bless!
Excellent piano playing, Theophilus 👍👍🎹 Thank you for sharing it
Thanks Abby!
Hey man ! I love your style , technique and soule ! Would love to hear more of you ! I just searched you on facebook and instagram but i could nog found ure page ? Did i do something wrong ? I'm from the netherlands and i was wondering if i could see u perform here in te furure ?
Hey there, thanks for your kind comments. Unfortunately I only play as a hobby and not as my job so this is the only place you can see my playing. I have posted some of the same videos on Facebook but you can find all of them here on my UA-cam channel.
@@theophilusmartins is there a chance that you can give me some online lessons when you have some spare time ?
Hey Theophius! We have contacted in a while, man. I was just thinking of you today! I'm glad I found this youtube, because it sounds really good and you sound clean and precise as usual. Really great!
Thanks Flint!
I recently discovered Brendan Kavanagh, and spotted you on one of his videos. Immediately had to subscribe here as well. I really appreciate both the style of music you're playing and the fact that you play in public. Really great work!
Thanks Mikko, I really appreciate your kind comment!
I like Dr K but you have to check out Terry Miles and they both have Theo nipping at their heels.
WOW!! I love listening to you play the piano and I love your style!!!
We really like your style! It is great!
You hit rock bottom!
And all these people walking by without noticing!
There are boogie boogie players of note but none effortlessly elegant.
Thanks!
I really love your impeccable rhythm feeling in your hands. Keep up the good work
Thank you Michael.
Just discovered your channel via Dr K. Excellent! ! 1.5k subs though? Should be WAY higher!
Thank you for your kind comment
Theophilus thank you for brightening my day on many occasions...how do I contact you directly please re work.
Regards and thanks Kevin Brown.
Hi Kevin, thank you for your kind comment and your support! You can contact me on - midiblueser1997@gmail.
Love it! You make it look easy! No way I would have simply walked by 😎
Thanks Annie! I appreciate your kind comment!
Man I could listen to this kind of playing for hours. Great job!
Thanks Blake glad you like my playing!
I can't tell my emotions because I can't speak English
Your performance is my ideal boogie-woogie 英語わからないので文章おかしかったらすみません、Google translateです、very very very very very coooool!!!!
Thank you very much for your kind comment!
Fantastic bro!!
Thanks Robert!
Amaizing taste in Boogir Theo brother, very playfull, keep up the good work man 😀😊🙏
Thanks!
Hey Theo missing your videos hope you're in a good space. You're the boss of this boogie roll stuff. The real thing. Been listening to lloyd Glenn a bit lately.
Hey friend, yes I'm doing alright. Thabks for asking. I appreciate your kind comment. Ah yes Lloyd Glenn. He is a phenomenal slow blues piano player.
wow that is some nice boogie, loved it
Thanks!
Lovely.
amazing
Theo pls come back and make more videos, you're style is awesome.
Thanks Dave E!
Great performance! Your style keeps me inspired to keep practicing. I hope you return to UA-cam soon. Hope all is well with you and God bless man
Hey thanks Ricky! I appreciate your kind comment! I've been alright man but to be honest with you, I got a new job and ive been lazy and slacking off, not practicing enough as I did before. I dont even know if I can play as good as I do in this video. I will eventually be returing back to UA-cam, I just dont know when. Thanks again friend and God bless you too man!
Hi Theophilus. We met at Canary Wharf during Brendan`s Live Stream. Olivier and I are going to play the piano on St. Pancras this Saturday. Would you like to join us and play something with Olivier?
Oh hey Olivier's dad, how are you? That would be great and I would love to but it depends at what time, as I have something important to do after 12 noon. So anytime before then.
@@OLIVIER-SHOW yes unfortunately that is quite late for me but I have recieved your email and will most definitely keep in touch with you.
Any more videos comming soon?
It seems there are some Chase Garrett's riffs...just love it, great playing !!
Well spotted friend and thank you for your kind comment!
By the way Lilian when's the next time you're in london?
@@theophilusmartins You re welcome ;) ... Well, believe me, I wouldn't hesitate to tell you that information if I knew it, but that means spending a lot of money for me :(
I'd really love to but for the moment all I can say is that I will go to Laroquebrou this year.
@@StreetBoogie ah that's unfortunate, I won't be able to go the festival in France either as that would mean the same for me. I need cash lol. So we're both in the same situation but in different countries haha. But we'll meet in London one day for sure!
@@theophilusmartins I understand. France is a bit expensive as well lol. It's unfortunate as you say. Yes of course ! I am already looking forward to live that great moment ! Keep in touch :)
wow such a rockin captivating performance love it!!
Thanks!
Dude, you are the real deal. If I had been there to hear you in-person, I would have stayed for the whole performance.
Thanks Roxanne! I appreciate your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Boogie rulez ¡from the tradition to now!meade lux,a.ammons and j.yancey lives
Thanks Marc!
Must say I love your boogies. Always a pleasant style
Thanks!
Hey Dr K… Theo knows where to find middle C
When my time comes, I will have to answer for a lot. But I will be asking him/her, why why couldn’t you let me play the piano like that?m
Thank you for such a kind sentiment! I believe brother that there's still time! Dont give up hope yet! There's still time to learn!
Thanks for sharing your skilful playing with us.
That's a real good train music. St Pancras should sponsor you (and have their pianos tuned)!
Thank you and Oooh that would be cool.
Stunning! I hope you're still playing when I'm back in London this July. And the piano get's tuned!
You're really good at it, keep goingg
In the zone! 🔥 🎹 🔥
thanks !!! Theo ! wow !!!!
Thanks Edwin!
VERY DAPPER THEO , BOTH IN YOUR PLAYING AND lovely SUIT your wearing ! GREAT PIANIST ! lots of love to you and appreciate your talent
Thank you so much Ann! 😁👍
You really rocked that, love it 👍👍
Thanks Matty!
Quality is superb! tick, pianist superb! tick.. You past with flying colours my dude
Thanks Matt!
I see those people walking by and I scratch my head and say, "How can they walk by?" Don't they get it?" If I was walking near there and I heard that music I would grab a cup of coffee at the nearest place and hang out next to the piano forever. I'd even maybe miss my flight because I would be in Heaven! Heaven, I tell you! Maybe us Boogie Woogie people are special or different or something. Maybe we're a special breed or a special family or something because when we hear that stuff (or play that stuff) we're so happy, and joyous and free! But I forgive those people because I'm like that with other things. You could have a great chef offer me something to eat, and I might say, "cool, that's tastes pretty good". And he and his colleagues would say, "What? Pretty good? That's all you can say? Why he just spent 4 hours baking in all that orange/hooly manoolie which is very rare, and all you can say is pretty good? And I'd be thinkin, "Man, a burger from MacDonalds would taste maybe a little better even right now." Why? Because I don't get it. So I don't blame those people. They are just as happy with listening to the Ray Coniff Singers. But in my humble opinion, what Theo is playing here is way up on top. Way, way up there. To me it is the coolest. It sounds so satisfying!
Thanks for your kind words Flint! If I remember correctly it was pretty late in the evening when this was filmed and I guess they all finished work and were on their way home.
@@theophilusmartins Well, it sounded so good, I couldn't resist saying those things. I'm sure they enjoyed it immensely while they could hear it.
Yeah man! 🙂
Thanks friend!
holy. sh... swinging. i mean, really, really swingin. Bouncin' Tasty all through, feel and note choices. Somehow I am so feeling the "and" of the one beat so good, and of course you're not actually playing on it. Nice.
Thanks Mark! I really appreciate your kind comment and your comment means a lot to me especially, as I love your drifting blues cover - it was fantastic.
Awesome style and no sign of bashing! 👍👍👍
Thanks man! My playing is more on the softer side. Sometimes too soft.
awesome
Thanks!
Excellent! Very nice skills. :-)
Great playing 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Another fantastic Boogie !!
Thanks Greg!
I came here via Dr K. 😀
I like it, my brother in Christ! You have style and groove. So all that is needed is there ;) God bless!
Thank you brother!
Very authentic and heartfelt!
Thanks!
If I was there I would have shaken your hand!
Haha Thanks! I get the reference!
Very cool
Fantastic! I love your style! You should have 20,000 subscribers. Keep it up! From Butler Pennsylvania just north of Pittsburgh.
