A Scots brain tumour survivor has told how his passion for piano helped to motivate him to fight back after surgery
.
Paul’s passion for classical music was fully ignited when he attended a Rachmaninov recital in Glasgow where he was left ‘in awe’ and he quickly began ordering sheet music online. By the time Paul started Aberdeen University, he was already using music to cope with a debilitating medical condition, Crohn's disease. He'd learned how to manage his flare-ups and was excited to begin a new chapter in life.
He said: “I can still recall vividly my first concert playing only with my left hand. I finished my piece and when I looked up I saw Roger Williams – then the University’s long-serving organist – on his feet. He gave me a standing ovation I’ve never forgotten. It was a huge boost to my confidence that helped me to believe I still had a future in performance music.”
