Pointing out stories you might have missed: A university cleaner in Glasgow has become a concert pianist after a webcam caught him having a go on a grand piano. Aleksander Kudajczyk put down his mop and gave a spellbinding performance of Chopin compositions to an empty room. Kudajczyk, 28, who arrived in Britain six months ago, had landed a job cleaning Glasgow University's law department. He saw no need to mention the fact he had studied at one of Poland's finest music academies. But the unwitting public performance in Glasgow University chapel so enraptured his on-line audience that he is now playing to packed venues. Soon after, he was offered the chance to play concerts at the chapel and he has also been entertaining crowds at Glasgow's West End Festival.FOOTNOTE: To see Jane Barlow's picture of the pianist and to read Jim Gilchrist's heart-warming report, go to Scotsman.com. Jim's report was the best of many versions in the international media, and he pointed out ``at the moment, however, he continues to work as a cleaner - this week's recitals were voluntary and unpaid''.
