Do you have a spare grand piano lying around at home?
Shire events
A Far North Queensland music festival is on the hunt for an unusual object to borrow from a local resident - a grand piano.
October festival Savannah in the Round has put the call out for the large musical instrument so US muso Don McLean - the man behind the legendary 1971 hit American Pie - can use it on stage as part of his show.
“Imagine if your piano played host to a legend,” festival organisers said this week.
“Your piano will take centre stage for an unforgettable performance by one of music's greatest singer-songwriters.”
Festival organisers say the piano will be picked up, transported, tuned up, insured and safely returned.
“We will also make sure there's a photo to remember the occasion and a signed keepsake from Don McLean.”
Savannah in the Round, featuring a host of big-name artists including Lee Kernaghan, Troy Cassar-Daley, Mental As Anything and GangGajang, is on from October 8-11 at the Mareeba Rodeo Grounds.
