Amazing Quote by Rhod Gilbert
“But my dad was a jazz pianist and plays by ear, and all my family are musical. And that bizarrely, is quite off-putting when you're a kid because I used to plinkety plonk and try and work out a tune and then my dad would sit down and play this amazing jazz version of what I was trying to.”
