Nick Cansfield, chair of the Midhurst Society, said: ‘We're extremely grateful to Hugh who was so generous with his time. Our members and their guests - nearly 150 in all - thoroughly enjoyed hearing his fascinating and humorous anecdotes."

After the talk, there were many questions from the audience, which he answered with good humour. Afterwards, Hugh signed copies of his book ‘Playing Under the Piano’ and posed for photographs with members of the audience.

The Midhurst Society holds talks on the third Thursday of the month in the South Downs Memorial Hall, North Street, on local subjects and/or presented by local people. More information is available on their website and social media.
