Driving home & took a call from a #Folkestone Academy student. I'd promised him a job as a pianist once he turns 16. Turns out today is his birthday & he wanted to let me know. So he starts next week and we're lucky to have such a talent. Just what I needed after a very long day.

Exactly a year ago today I came to London to record @HospMeetsPod with @philjstreet (whom I'd never met, but has become a close friend). This evening I received this. Never underestimate the value of a positive message, our #HospitalityFamily need it more than ever right now.
