7) On 26th June 2008, TAFN member & musician Robert Grimwood had a small review written by John Gibson published in the Edinburgh Evening News. Here is the text of the review:-
About time, too. They've called in a pianist to the Balmoral's Palm Court worthy of a five-star hotel. Lincolnshire-born Robert Grimwood during his 25 years on America's east coast worked in and around Washington, where Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, separately, have been among his audiences.
Jazz-influenced, his repertoire brings a quality and professionalism to the room that's been missing far too long. "This piano's excellent," he reckons. "A couple of hundred pounds spent on it and it would be positively brilliant." Robert's been blind virtually from birth. Listen!"
