International pianist withdraws after seagull attack
mainAmong the unlikelier causes for a concert cancellation:
The pianist Paul Lewis was felled by a nesting seagull as he emerged at the weekend from the Liverpool Phil. He was knocked down, hurt his hand and headed off to hospital.
We wish Paul a swift recovery.
He is replaced tonight by Finghin Collins, directing and playing Mozart K414 and the Schumann concerto.
While laid-up, maybe Paul should sharpen his avian avoidance skills using this:

(Use the mouse to keep the birds away from the artist.)
Or carry a catapult!

Good one for Finghinn Collins’ CV. “Stood in for Paul Lewis after injurious seagull attack.”
