Dave Clarke		At an early age David knew that he wanted to become a pianist. When he first set eyes on his grandfathers Broadwood Piano back in 1978 at the age of 5 he sat down and played for hours. David's music teacher discovered that he had perfect pitch (the ability to identify a note on the musical scale without a single reference point) and it was not long before David was using it to play tunes from the radio, television without music. Being the performer that he always has been, if there is a piano at a bar, restaurant, hotel or friends house you will always find him firmly placed there on the piano stool behind it!	More Info

A string trio or duet can also achieve the same goal, but on a smaller scale.
