International musician electrifies Honiton
Andreas Boyde amazes audiences during a special memorial recital.
INTERNATIONAL pianist Andreas Boyde filled Honiton with the sound of music in a special memorial recital.
The Steinway artist or Monsieur 100,000 as he has been hailed by critics gave an electrifying performance to a packed crowd in St Paul’s Church.
The concert, which was in aid of Hospiscare, was a tribute to his dear friend and fellow musician Joanna Leach.
Joanna, who moved to Shute in 2000, with her husband, Mike Beville, died in April after battling cancer.
