During the early 70's Terry moved to London, where he worked as a session pianist for Columbia Records.

The London Pub rock scene was really happening at that time and Terry played regular gigs at most of the venues.

Unlike the Piano's in the recording studio's (which were always tuned and well maintained) a good many of the instruments he was asked to play in the pubs and clubs left a lot to be desired and getting a piano Tuner / Technician at short notice often proved rather difficult. To overcome this problem Terry decided to learn how to Tune and Repair Piano's for himself.

Although Terry is still better known as someone who plays the Piano for a living, being able to tune and repair instruments makes him a complete Piano man.
