A blind West Yorkshire pianist has been hailed as “phenomenal” after her performance in the competition final on Channel 4 show The Piano.

Lucy, aged 13, initially wowed judges Mika and Lang Lang at Leeds City Rail Station with a rendition of Chopin's Nocturne in B-flat minor. Last night (March 15), she performed Debussy’s Arabesque at the Royal Festival Hall and was announced as the competition winner.

The show, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, focused on a search for the UK’s best amateur pianists. People were invited to play for commuters on public pianos in London St Pancras, Leeds, Glasgow and Birmingham train stations.
