I played solo piano in the lounge bar of Olim’s Hotel regularly on Thursday and Friday evenings. I am not really sure how many occasions that would add up to but quite a number. After being paid we would then spend the proceeds in the hotel dining room.
It was very cost effective from their point of view.
The baby grand piano was a wreck but they replaced it eventually with one a bit less wreck-like. By working both pedals furiously one can disguise quite a number of the piano’s technical shortcomings as it sinks into a state of terminal decrepitude.
