RIP Jimmy Gibb, piano teacher extraordinaire (1918 - 2013)

[Nick Armstrong]

James Gibb, much loved piano teacher notably at the Guildhall School, died last month.

Lovely biography here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obit...ames-Gibb.html

He taught a couple of friends and I met him once or twice, wonderful bloke with a roguish Tyneside twinkle...

Didn't know this: "Among his many students was the broadcaster Stephen Plaistow, with whom he enjoyed a four-handed keyboard partnership..." (SP being possibly my favourite R3 reviewer).

RIP James Gibb

Thanks for that Caliban. I didn't know him but was at his proms debut with the Dohnanyi Variations in 1949 with MS.

RIP James Gibb
