Britain's got no keyboard talent.

The only time that a keyboard player features on a main stream TV show on ITV and what do we get? Sadly someone called Michael Machell playing a "remixed" version of Star Wars very badly.

Saturday night ITV show "Britain's got talent" is a show to find the next big talent to appear in front of British royalty. Many first class performers appeared on stage, including an incredible electric string quartet. Following them was a keyboard player who did for the keyboard world what Hitler did for Germany. The whole performance was a complete nightmare. It was clear that they had chosen him as a thing of ridicule and not because of his talent.
Judge Simon Cowell told the audience "If I became Prime Minister I would ban those things" - referring to a Yamaha portable home keyboard. This is not the sort of publicity that keyboard or organ players want, and why oh why is it always talentless individuals who seem to make it into the news. I am sure that Yamaha UK did not appreciate this sort of publicity after spending years of hard work developing fantastic arranger keyboards. Cowell is well known for his outspoken and self opinionated views, but in this case we have to agree with him.
Where are the UK's top organists and keyboard players?
