Janitor's piano talent revealed

A janitor's hidden talent as a virtuoso pianist has been discovered at a leading Scots university.

Aleksander Kudajczyk, 28, from Katowice in Poland, cleans corridors at Glasgow University but was overheard playing concert-standard pieces.

He had asked to use a piano in the University chapel and staff watched him play using a webcam.

Chaplaincy secretary Joan Keenan said his music was so amazing that colleagues also logged on to watch.

Since the revelation, Mr Kudajczyk has been allowed to practice for up to six hours a day at the university.

On Tuesday, he will play a concert of Chopin pieces during Glasgow's West End Festival, his second public performance during the event.
