Andrew Queen, came yesterday and repaired the piano in the hallway. it is still a semi-tone flat, but it is in tune with itself! yay!
He is a lovely man and only charged £50.

he will do the Babygrand at the end of the month when it finds its final resting place.

thanks.

yup, nice..

What about people who exhibit in Total Kunst? Could be good to let all of them know the possibilities too, right? As far as I was aware, TK have always told artists that they should contact foh@theforest or speak to Nix/Kata/Cornelia if they want to do art in Forest, outwith the galery. Hay, VAWG.....
