Grand celebration at Sawmill Café


A concert of diverse piano music celebrating the life and memory of Grattan Guinness will be held at Leigh’s Sawmill Café on what would have been his 76th birthday, Friday, September 28.

Grat’s Piano Celebration will be “a relaxed night to celebrate a life very well lived and a love of music”, with performances from a number of different players on Grattan’s beloved Bechstein grand.

The Sawmill Café founder, who passed away in March, rescued the piano from a nightclub when it was in a poor state of repair and spent a significant amount of time and money getting it restored to mint condition.

The concert starts at 6.30pm and all are welcome. Entry by koha.
