Profile
The founder of Healthy Concerts, singer-songwriter, improvisation artist and piano tuner.
FREE PIANO TUNING
Who for? A player who cant afford to pay a professional tuner. A player with a piano in good working order - just needs a tuning. A person who can cover my travel expenses from Kemptown, Brighton.
Who am I? A musician and piano tuner with no qualifications. I have enjoyed piano tuning for over 10 years and have tuned four grand pianos regularly. These instruments are used for semi-professional recordings and recitals. One of my clients is a professional classical musician and musicologist. I do not tune to a theoretical equal temperament (for those of you who know what that means). My approach to tuning is influenced by discoveries I have made related to JS Bach.

BOOK PAUL CHI for your HAPPY NEW YEAR CONCERT
Every Christmas and New Year Paul Chi`s Happy New Year song is a popular download and Paul offers a very special seasonal concert.
Enjoy a set of reflective songs (not party sing-alongs!) specially prepared for the season, and to balance this, Chi`s unique ability to make songs up on the spot for any occasion!
THE SPRING TOUR ALBUM 2006 (1hr 11mins)
Produced from over 7 hours of mini-disk recordings, mainly of gigs in digs on the tour - very cosy
Half of the material was entirely improvised. Read the TOUR REPORTER
"Paul`s unique ability to channel music and words of the moment and his courage to express himself uncensored is what makes Paul`s performance so exciting and awe inspiring." Sharon Lewis (see full review - link below) www.sharonlewis.net
Copies of the album are available for all those who absolutely love Paul Chi! The quality of the mini-disk recording is unspeakable! However, certain atmospheres have been developed at the editing stage and the listener may feel enchanted, if somewhat distant from the source, as if eaves dropping on another world. You can't make out every word but Chi scrutinised the original sound recordings and transcribed most of the lyrics...
HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT GIG
Paul Chi, as the special guest of Manickam Yogeswaran, performed his Peace on Earth and Feel the Colour songs at the Houses of Parliament on Wednesday 12 October 2005. This event, a CD launch concert for Yoga`s Peace for Paridise album was, the musicians were informed, unprecedented in the history of Parliament. Quite a gig! See www.yogeswaran.com
"I'm so greatful to Yoga for giving me this extraordinary opportunity. It's one house concert I will never forget! The audience, a mix of colours and professions; from Members of Parliament to Inter Faith Ministers, from doctors and soliciters to musicians and composers - Jocelyn Pook attended. Perhaps the spirit of my songs will have a positive infuence on foreign policy! Joking aside, the message at the heart of the songs I sang seemed very befitting for these times and those austere rooms. The response was very warm and enthusiastic and I hope I'm invited back again!" Paul Chi
