Benedict Cork went the piano man route, much like Billy Joel. He hasn't written a hit song about the experience yet, but he has developed into an outstanding songwriter and performer, able to find beauty in the darker emotions. That kind of nuanced melancholy is his specialty, but he takes a different direction on his latest single, "Have A Good Life (See You Never)," which he breaks down and performs for us on the show.
Cork started playing his local London piano bar around 2009 when he was just 15; he released his first single, "Easy" in 2018. Here, he tells the stories behind some of his best songs and shares stories from his days in the piano bar - you might be surprised what people request.
