Lockdown Lookback: Piano Bar Home Stream (Robin P-iano)

Before we move on from the lockdowns we wanted to take a moment to remember what we DID achieve during those fateful months/years! At the beginning of lockdown we had never done a live stream before and our house upload speed was ... 0.2mbps...

Over time we learned how to make a stream work, using mobile hotspots, the equipment we already had, and minimal new purchases. This was the last of the home Piano Bar streams we did as Robin P-iano and it all came together nicely, after a year of learning, trial and error, and tinkering!

So, here it is to enjoy, almost two hours of Robin trying to keep his sanity, whilst offering some uplifting entertainment to everyone else stuck at home! Robin P-iano performs at the Piano Bar at De Luca in Cambridge most weekends, check the repmusic website for listings.
