Jools Holland will auction off his much loved piano to raise money for the Drake Music Project, of which he is a patron. The musician and TV presenter has toured with the piano for over five years, and performed with the likes of Tom Jones, Paul McCartney, Eric Claption, Paul Weller, Sting and Noel Gallagher while playing it. The Drake Music Project works to enable disabled children and adults who cannot play conventional instruments to discover their musical abilities.
Confirming the auction, Holland told reporters: "I would like to congratulate anybody who buys this piano. You will be contributing to The Drake Music Project. I have seen first-hand the brilliant work they do bringing music technology to disabled musicians."
The auction will take on 2 Oct.
