I'm all steamed up about the Priory school auction on Wednesday, I'm going to get my bid in tomorrow! But I'm not telling how much I can afford as I'm a lonely pensioner with hundreds of cats, but I'm desperate to tickle those steamy ivories!!!
Any one joining me for a flutter?

I would but do you have to go to the auction to put in a bid? or is someone taking bids at the school? I'm a bit busy on Wednesday.

To add a little provenance, the Piano is accompanied by a photo of it in sit
u during the Mumford weekend and a signed copy of the bands latest album. No idea what it will fetch on the night but it really is a great piece. Bids accepted by BPM, 28 Station Street, up to 10 am Wednesday.

I played it on the day, it looked amazing with the solar cell making the copper thingy wizz round, not so sunny now but it sort of holds that mumfords weekends warmth, something to remember the festival by for years to come. It's a slice of Lewes history in the making.
Good luck Priory and well done for the creativity.

Mumfords have actually signed the piano!!! that's fantastic, so it will be an investment for the future to, at last my kitties might be fed well in the future ( if Mine is the highest bid that is), if not, it's the waitrose bins again my lovelies.

It would look great in a bar or a hotel, then the public could stillplay it. Or a pub! or the station, someone told me they hav epianos on Victoria station just for tinkling on whilst you wait for your train.
