Play Me, I’m Yours

Overview

It's a common feeling. Walking around the city streets one summer's evening you can't help but stare down at the busker yelling his guts out or the young guy clumsily playing 'Wonderwall' on his battered old acoustic; you can't help but stare down and think 'I could probably do better than that,' — 'If I was a busker, I would be awesome.'

Well now it's time to prove it. From January 9 - 27, 24 decorated pianos will be tucked away in random locations across the city, waiting for you to play. Part of a worldwide art initiative, Play Me, I'm Yours comes from the mind of British artist Luke Jerram and has been on tour in 37 countries since its debut in 2008. There's no room for being humble here either — if you have the talent why not share it with your fellow pedestrians, and if you... don't, well why not treat them to a bit of laugh?
