Longest Serving Pub Landlady Reveals Hidden Talent!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- This is probably the most incredible and exciting 'Pianos In Pubs' video I have ever made. Jean Williams, who is the landlady of The Griffin Inn Pub in Gresford, near Wrexham, is the longest serving licensee and is totally 'old school' having never had a jukebox, a pool table, fruit machine or satellite TV in her Public House. Jean Williams does have an upright old piano though, and she kindly invited me into her pub to play it, and Jean even played a couple of duets with me on her piano that she has owned since she was five years old, a gift to Jean from her Father. Thank You, Jean, for the beautiful warm welcome that you gave to me, Eileen and Elsie when we visited your beautiful and unique pub on Wednesday, 5th of April 2023. This video is amazing everyone. Sit back and enjoy. Thank you for watching. All the boogie best. Terry Miles
Long live Terry and his gift of joyful music.
This is the best 21:09 minutes entertainment I have had here for ages ... Terry is truly a great pearsonist but the duet's are great fun and Jean is a real star ... soon as you played the first note how good was that piano in tune absolutely perfectly ... really enjoyed the video very much.
Very good, I always smile when you walk into the pub and start playing, the quality of the music is so good.
Greetings from Norway
Just a wonderful piece, the music, the video and the beautiful Inn. I think most of us would love to spend even an hour there
Wow that hit me more than I thought it would. So lovely ❤
This is a pure delight! Terry is so good at making it a beautiful performance and Jean is a very gracious host and a talented pianist too! I was genuinely moved by this little 'show'. Bless you both, and long may the Griffin continue to entertain and delight!
This is beautifull Terry ❤
Thank you for your very kind words, Peter. I’m next Live-streaming on my Terry Miles UA-cam Channel this coming Thursday, 20th of April at 5:30pm - UK TIME. Hope you can join us. All the boogie best, Peter The Rock. Terry 🎹🎹👍👍

Wow , thats a nice honky tonk piano! Well played as always
Isn't this how life is supposed to be: in tune, together, and full of joy.
I miss my daddy he used to visit me and play the piano like this gor two and a half hours then play with my 3 children and split! He's in heaven now. I've been so depressed 35 yrs now anx this Terry really lifted me to floating niw! Tgankyou brother!!! This is good life everyone needs!!!❤😂🎉
Lovely collection of pictures of Princess Diana she was such an angel and is sadly missed by the entire world.
Classic quote Terry, 'I came in the wrong entrance' I've said that a few times myself, lol😂
Brilliant 👏
Made me smile on a Monday morning. Good work both of you!
Thank You, Nicholas. All the boogie best. Terry Miles 🤠🎹
I love how ten seconds after terry's in the door he's grabbing a pint off of a table and having a pull. Also amazing that you finally landed on a piano that is in tune. After the first couple taps, my ears perked up and said, "what's that? a tuned instrument?". With the land lady at the helm, a dart lane and fine cider, I could easily make that one my local.
glad they left that wrong door stuff at the start 🙂 x 😄
(i notice most of the drink is gone!)
Thank you for watching and for your wonderful comment. All the boogie best. Terry 👍🎹
Yeah was a quick pint there waiting
Yeah how did he get a cider so fast???
Thanks
Thank you Richard for your super thanks gift. I really appreciate it 👍🙏
Excellent Terry, you certainly find the most interesting people and places. Lovely old pub, Thank you.

The world is a better place when pianos are played.
That was awesome, next time make it an hour long show, Terry is a true musician and Jean was also amazing 🤩
Thank you John for your kind words. All the boogie best. Terry Miles x
That is one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much.
Terry made this lady so 😊.
Hallo es ist sooo schön danke euch

Superb Terry! this was a genuine pleasure to watch, as always! ... Jean is living legend - Landlady of the Year - The Griffin is now on my Bucket List for this summer's Cider fest 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹 ❤ 🍻 Thanks for taking yr time to bring this piece together 🙏🎹 Best wishes, Mike Stevens.
Beautiful
What an amazing video!! Always a delight to watch and listen to you play, but the way you and Elsie treated Jean, the respect you showed her, the way you got her to play and join in.....just marvelous. The amazing power of music.
Mellow as hundred year old wine crossing your lips under an evening ocean breeze - both of them...both of them
That was wonderful! Jean is such a nice and talented lady. The duets were great. What a beautiful and friendly atmosphere too!
Absolutely, William. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. All the boogie best. Terry Miles x
Beautiful❤
This is my favorite video yet!
Brilliant
Magic!
That was so much fun to watch and listen to…thank you both so much.
So sweet! Lovely music together.
So glad you visited our village Terry, just superb, so much history in Jeans pub,what wonderful lady she is and often let my boy practice there before he had a piano of his own.
Thankyou Jean and rock on Terry, you are a star!
Jean is a star!!! Lovely video Terry and such a lovely, sounding British made piano! Think I will visit that place myself one day, looked lovely! Maybe see if I can persuade Jean myself to have a go on it maybe! 😁
Brilliant 👏 m8 what a lovely lady !!
Fantastic ! What a great pub, a proper home from home atmosphere. Lovely landlady and great music. Thank you Terry
Glad you enjoyed it, Betty boo. Thank you for watching my video here on my UA-cam Channel. Yes, Jean is a wonderful lady and gave us a huge welcome into her traditional and fantastic pub. More Terry Miles 'Pub Piano Quests' coming soon to this UA-cam Channel. Please remember to subscribe to my UA-cam Channel and check out my other UA-cam videos. All the boogie best. Terry Miles
Lovely pub.....lovely musical get together and Jean is also great!!
I guess it's the kind of place you could relax for the afternoon quite easily.
Happy Easter to all.🐣🎵🎶🌅💐💐💐💐🌱🍰🐸👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹
Magnificent duo, and also it's extraordinary the joy you bring to others, Terry :)
you are a cure for depression!
What a beautiful traditional pub, you can hardly get one now day's.
I enjoyed this video very much! What a lovely pub, and Jean was such a lovely lady. The piano Duo was great! Happy Easter Terry ,Elsie and Eileen. God bless you for all the joy you bring.👍🙂❤️❤️
The best yet well dun lads
What a lovely heart warming video and Jean is amazing. Pure realism, so refreshing in this artificial world. Thanks Terry
My old man said follow the van and I didn't dilly dally on the way... Jean was a star. I miss the old days and I often watch Billy Joel the piano man to remind me of the days in my local social club in Leicester with our own resident keyboardist and drummer who would host a free 'n' easy night on a Monday playing all the old time classics.
This was amazing, waiting for part 2 🙏
Thanks to both Terry and Jean for a bit of delightful and wholesome entertainment. I imagine that she is in great demand to play by her pub patrons. May she and her piano keep going for a long time.
Fab 👍
Love to 'Travel-Back-In-Time' on these Special Pub Piano Quests, Terry!! 🎶🎹💙Any chance for a lively Mrs Mills Piano tune - to be played by you and Jean?? 👍😃🎶Cheers, Terry and Miles family!! 🍺🍺🍻☘Wishing all here a Joyful Easter!! 👋🔆
Hi there Sherri. Mrs Mills Piano. Absolutely, I love Mrs Mills. I have a few of her LPs. Myself and Jean do play a duet or two together. Jean is fantastic. See you on this Premiere of my brand new Pub Piano Quest Video at 8PM - UK Time, Sunday, April 9th - Easter Sunday. All the boogie best, Sherri and Patrick in The Mississippi Delta. Terry 🎹👍
What a lovely video. An old school, proper pub with a piano. Jean is great keeping traditions going, and being a piano player in her own pub. I really liked this one and I wish we had something like this near where I live. I have gone through Gresford many times since the 50's to visit my grandparents near Llanfyllin. Before Gresford was bypassed, my dad told me ,when we passed the colliery, about the terrible disaster of 1934. It has always stuck in my mind. I will try to visit Jean's pub next time we are in the area as we Visit Wales two or three times a year.
What a great video! Loved Jean and her playing. Also love all the Royal stuff around the pub which went so well with the music. I'm learning to play Boogie Woogie after giving up the piano 50 years ago. Keep up the good work! Thankyou!
Love how you’re touring the country and what a fabulous pub! One can see it has great atmosphere and with such a lovely talented friendly landlady! Great choice of music too Terry!❤❤❤❤❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏👏👏
Another great video from Mr. Miles. The UK needs to wake up in order to hold on to this priceless culture.
Can't wait for this one Terry. I'm sure Jean will be great. My Mom's name is Jean and she used to play piano, in fact I have a video of her playing on my channel before she had Alzheimer's. Happy Easter everyone. 🎹 👍 👋 🍺
Thank You, Bill. Premiering at 8PM, UK Time on Easter Sunday, April, 9th. See you on the premiere. All the boogie best. Terry 👍🎹
Happy Easter William Paganucci.💐💐💐💐💐💐🌅🌟🎶🎵🐣☀️🌹
What a delightful lady Jean is and a great duet thx
My Mum's called Jean too and she must be the same age as Jean here but she's not as sprightly! Great video and what a lovely place Terry found. Will need to pop in whenever I'm passing 🍻👏♥️
My Mum name was Jean❤️👍❤️
Terry Miles everybody (clapping), another entertaining pub visit, thanks Terry.
I absolutely love Terry and I found him as I sit in my chair and recover from knee surgery here back in the States. I am thrilled I found him and I’ll be waiting more!!!
❤
Thank you for watching. It's wonderful to hear from you. Glad you like my video here on my UA-cam Channel. Please remember to subscribe to my UA-cam Channel. All the boogie best. Terry Miles 🎹👍
Hi Terry you were so kind and gracious with lovely Jean Williams. Both of you bringing joy to people. Keep playing.
What an extraordinary woman! That pub exists outside our dimension, like an episode of Twilight Zone, but it's a dream instead of a nightmare. 😃
Lovely.
❤❤❤
Even if you are doing a lot of videos with Brendan you are for sure, the most talented of you two!! And you are not falling in to his bragging behaviour which is also very Good!!! You are a so totally different and much more humble personality and therefore it makes youso much more admirable and likeable🌹🌹 Please keep up this splendid entertainment❣❣❣
I have already made a comment previously, but this is so enjoyable I just watched it again for the 4th time!!!❤
Terry working the magic on the ole ivorys.
What a beautiful lady, Jean, and an excellent pub. Thank you so much, Terry, you are a real gentleman.
Thank you Terry for the sweet moments that you bring to our life . God bless you

What an eloquent and comfortable looking pub run by a sweet lady who plays the piano beautifully.
Fantastic duet. ❤❤
Fabulous. :-)
Wonderful stuff. Definitely picked the right tunes and played them so well. A really heartwarming video. Well done.👏👏👏
you are AMAZING Mr Miles such a talented man
do oil in my lamp again sometime but in a pub = amazing sir
Was that a closer walk with thee?…
🙏✝️😎👍🏻X
I have known Jean for over 30 years. She is the loveliest lady you will ever meet.
I am surprised that with the number of years you have visited Wales you are still finding places to film.
Hi Terry - such a great video with yours and Jean's beautiful playing - I've got to visit the pub! Pity youtube didn't exist when my grandfather played piano in his pub during WW2 for the locals and nearby RAF aircrew......who accompanied many of the tunes with their own unprintable lyrics'! Despite the tragedy of war - the piano and everyone singing created some wonderful evenings.
Well said, Robert. It’s wonderful to hear from you and thank you for your support and kind words. More of these videos to come, all being well. Hopefully soon, too. All the boogie best. Terry Miles x
❤ Hi there Bill, that made me look back to my childhood , My own Mum , another Jean , who died in 1964 played Swannee River on our LOVELY Ebonised Pianola piano that I believe was a wedding present unfortunately lost to me 😿 when we subsequently 'downsized' some 3 years later never forgotten 😿 ❤
Thank you Terry for this première! Music brings people of all ages together. A very beautiful piano, a nice discovery. It makes me want to go bashing amazing grace now!
Two beautiful people playing a duet!
now watch Brendan Kavanagh walk in and try to find middle c
Looking forward Terry! Loving the return of the pub piano quest 😃😃😃
Thank you, Jonty. Glad you like the pub piano quest return. See you on the Premiere of my new pub piano quest video at 8PM - UK Time, Sunday, April 9th - Easter Sunday. All the boogie best. Terry 🎹👍
Amazing video Terry, we all enjoyed watching from the Griffin.
Such a heart warming video - what a fantastic lady - lovely video Terry, thank you Terry, Elsie and Eileen x
Wow, now that's somewhere I would love to see, like a tourist. I can only imagine what those walls would say and what they'd say. This place is incredible and so is Pianist. Stunning. God Bless ❤ Brilliant 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Lovely pub and compliments on how clean and well kept the "Griffin" is. A gracious landlady and enjoyed the piano playing Terry❤
Thanku Jean and Terry ! Australia loves you all 😀
... that is one of the best sounding piano's that you have found, Terry ... the rest is pure joy ...
Un grand moment d’intimité et de partage, magnifique cadeau musical, congratulations from France 💙
Thought! I think Jean would have loved to play many more, it was so clear she was enjoying herself with memories of all the old music, wonderful 😊
