Play Me, I'm Yours Glasgow

Tom Urie

Part of the internationally touring artwork (since 2008) devised by British Artist Luke Jerram. Play Me, I'm Yours has now reached over 3 million people worldwide, more than 1000 pianos have been installed in over 38 cities including; New York, London, Paris, Boston, Belfast, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Santiago, Melbourne and Glasgow, where some 12 to 15 Street pianos will be placed in and around the City streets, parks, public spaces, Museums & Galleries during the summer festivals in June and the build up to the Commonwealth Games.

I went along to the latest PMIY event, which also coupled as a fund raiser for Govanhill Baths, entry being by voluntary donations of course. Although the piano, at times, sounded as if it was being played under water, there were some great pianists and singers to entertain us: Louise Cairns; Aislin Quinn; Tom Urie and Dave Anderson.

Many thanks to them and the volunteers on the night: Liam Jackson, Bruce Downie, Alan Walsh, Alan Dempster, Fatima Uygun, Jim Monaghan and Walter Littlejohn and Thom Binns from PMIY who made it all happen.

Of course I took the opportunity to take a few photos.

Enjoying the tunes
