Maverick concert pianist James Rhodes discusses his controversial memoir INSTRUMENTAL live on stage – a brutally honest, moving and compelling story that was almost banned. Music has been the one thread that has held him together through the ups and downs of his extraordinary life.
Presented with James’ trademark mix of humour, searing honesty and inspiring piano performances, INSTRUMENTAL is an impassioned tribute to the power of music and its potential to transform all of our lives.
“Unsurpassed and unsurpassable” ★★★★★ (SUNDAY TIMES)
“Performances of such natural ease and brilliance that no one can resist” (THE TIMES)
“The publishing sensation of the year” (MAIL ON SUNDAY)
“A mesmeric combination of vivid, keen, obsessive precision and raw, urgent energy” (ZOE WILLIAMS, GUARDIAN)
