Ok lets forget the photo for now, and talk about The Peel hotel and the piano genius Paul Woodrow. Paul and I shared a flat above a chemists in Chapeltown Road next to the Mexborough. He was hardly ever there in the end as he was giging all over the North in a band called The Blues Sounds. However on Tuesday evening at the Peel Hotel he played jazz standards. He is completely self taught, no lessons, can't read a note, but sounds like Art Tatum. Fantastic. He now lives in Canada still playing.
