Hey, did you see her improvising on Newsnight? Fabulous playing but there was definitely something up with the action on one of the notes of the piano (I know, I know, I'm such an anorak). Check it out:

A pint of best bitter (or a glass of white wine for the ladies Wink ) to whoever can diagnose the problem!

The C octave above Middle C you mean?

Yeah I noticed that. It could have been poor microphone placement I think.

Yup, that was the one. Could have been the mics - strange that it wasn't identified and sorted before the broadcast. Maybe it was something reacting to the heat under the studio lights.
