    Marvellous! Yeah, I've seen the inside of quite a few pianos 😂 In one way it makes me sad that such beautiful instruments can have such little value, but on the other hand you it now lives with someone who totally appreciates it 😊

      I'm grateful it was cheap enough for me to get one! xo

    It’s the Blue Peter badges that really matter. Love it. ❤❤❤

      I found them this morning so I can hold them up as proof on Wednesday night :)

    Ooh, gotta set a special notification for this Wednesday!
    Love that you got your dream of owning a piano in your own home.
    I love seeing how things work, but am not among the creative (simply put, so far in life I am quite unoriginal and not skilled in doing things other than arranging things that already exist).
    Love cheering on people and am genuinely happy for those who can create from scratch or have an idea to truly enhance something that already exists.
    Kudos to Jay for being the Piano Man.

    That piano looks lush. Not sure I’ll be able to join live this month but hope to join a future episode as it sounds ace. Also, im sure I’ve told you before but I do miss your podcast. So many great conversations on there.

    Hi Laura. Thanks for the video. I'd love to know the story behind the Blue Peter badges (perhaps one for the live session on 21st?).

    I'm pretty terrible at getting on to live streams will it be made available after the fact? Also just wanted to say your podchat with Ayse Hassan way back when was brilliant. I am in the midst of EP recording in between work and family commitments, and it's really good to see the support, go you

      Oh brilliant, thanks for listening to the podcast!! There are many more episodes if you'd like some more inspiration, those conversations really kept me going through the pandemic lockdown times. And yes the livestream will stay up afterwards definitely xo

    Is that the piano at the end of Seventeen on Exotic Monsters? I should have had a Blue Peter badge for my brief appearance once… I’m saving the details for my book….

    • @Penfriendrocks
      @Penfriendrocks  Місяць тому

      Oo I'm intrigued! No this piano hasn't been on any recordings til now, I've written lots of songs on it that no-one has heard yet though...

    I like to think I’m a creative person, but I don’t feel any of my endeavours are really good enough to push out beyond the confines of my own little world. So, I guess I’d like to know how you know your things are worthy of other people?

      It doesn't matter. These days you can put it up on the internet for free. Create something you are happy with. Then who cares if nobody or everybody views it?

      This is a fab question and I will answer it on Wednesday, Ian! xo
