LIVE Piano - A DATE WITH THE DINNER SET

Описание: Welcome to our weekly Piano livestream 'A DATE WITH THE DINNER SET' broadcast #288 on 25 JAN @ 1830 GMT...and HAPPY BURNS NIGHT! We hope you will enjoy the brightness, warmth, and cheer our weekly Piano show of jazz standards, Latin, show tunes, film music, topical music, quirks and classical favourites can bring. Sit back and enjoy 45 mins with Gareth and join in the chat, press LIKE and leave a comment - Pull up a pew, or recline in relaxation with your beverage of choice as we enjoy the music together. We hope our music brings lots of happiness. Please enjoy this evening's selection 😃

THE JANUARY 2026 UPLOADS are all pieces of bright, cheery, feel-good music to raise a smile on these short Winter days. The upload on Friday 23JAN was the optimistic, chirpy, bouncy evergreen WHEN I'M SIXTY FOUR by the Beatles and composed by Paul McCartney. You can listen to my cover of this famous song here:-

   • 🎹 WHEN I'M 64 🎹 by The Beatles - Piano cover  

If ADWTDS is new to you, this is the current format of the programme: In our 45-min session together we begin with a short 30-sec piece of opening music (usually TV or film and very often rather niche and obscure for my enjoyment!) followed by 6 x standards/ballads/show tunes/film music/quirks/Latin etc. We also like making links and connections between the music/writers/performers/context as we enjoy our music together, as well as looking to the world calendar for a topicality check, and to see what people are celebrating on this day. Please also join us in the chat room to talk either about the music or, as is more usual....what you are eating & the weather! Each week we finish with a wildcard piece, which could be any of: 1) new to the show 2) a request from you [email to make a request to: [email protected]] 3) something classical 4) something quirky 5) something pertinent to the day.

I hope you will be with us live, but you can also watch any time, of course - so please spread the word and remember to have notifications ON so you know when things happen on the channel.
