The only downside of the first series was that it was TOO DARN SHORT! Them adding 2 episodes for this series is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for!!!

What an amazing unplanned send off for @scruttonsteph today!

Meeting Claudia Winkleman, MIKA and Lang Lang during their final shoot of the next series of @channel4 The Piano!

Keep an eye out this September for the two of us and #thebump #pianoprodigy (blessed by Lang Lang himself) being absolutely silly during our „extended” lunch at Lime Street!

Musical stars watch Liverpool FC and praise 'world's best choir'

 

They headed to the stadium after filming in the city centre

 

Musical superstar MIKA and famous pianist Lang Lang enjoyed a night at Anfield Stadium last night watching Liverpool FC play.

The stars were in Liverpool on the back of filming with Claudia Winkleman for the second season of channel 4 show The Piano. Claudia and her crew were in Lime Street Station to film a portion of the series, which sees amateur pianists from all over the country show off their skills.

 

Lime Street Station was filled with eager spectators, who were able to watch the filming taking place, including performances from members of the public as well as interviews Claudia had with the amateur musicians after they finished playing.

 

Behind the scenes, the pair watched the amateur pianists performing before making the difficult decision on who will progress in the show. Once the filming was over, the singer and the pianist headed to Anfield to watch Liverpool FC beat Southhampton 3-0.

 
 

The pair travelled to the match with Bake Off and The Piano creator Richard McKerrow and other key executives.

Visiting Anfield Stadium was a first for Mika, 40, who said: “My first time in this mythical stadium was such a heartwarming experience. And the reaction to Trey Nyoni when he came out was just amazing to witness.”

   The BAFTAS really are a big deal over here for UK television, so this is awesome recognition for the show! Fingers crossed The Piano wins this one! 🤞

What can I say...
ALL my life i constantly manifested my dreams of being a film composer to come to reality. Past few weeks have been possibly the best in my life (other than my daughters birth)and I genuinely can't wait for the whole country to see what a normal lad from the care system in Liverpool can achieve if you just have confidence in yourself and your own ability.
I want to change the lives of kids in the care system and give them something to belive in, when my break happens I won't ever stop trying to help and change struggling kids and teens and show them you can achieve the impossible because nothing really is impossible.
I have had the best support network around me and that has a massive reason behind me not losing hope, you all know who you are and I genuinely can't thank each and every one of you enough.
If anyone is reading this and is feeling down at the moment, lost confused and doesn't know where they are or where they want to be, just know it all starts with you, you can achieve absolutely anything if you put your heart into it and seize each and every opportunity that comes your way.

   Lang Lang was a guest on the UK TV show 'This Morning' today. He didn't talk too much about The Piano (he was mainly promoting his new album) but did mention that series 2 would be just as heartwarming as the first series. Sadly Mika's name never got mentioned! 

 

But Happy Ending could be heard as background music at one point!
