Plus: What to wear this bank holiday weekend
| | “I am about to go on stage, where I’ll be playing Chopin’s Nocturne in C Minor to an audience of 1,500. Most people in this situation would be nervous: this is a high-profile event, which has been advertised with posters of me on the tube. Instead, I drift onto the stage enveloped in a fluffy cloud,” writes Chris Berardi.
This “fluffy cloud” has been created by Berardi drinking two bottles of wine before her show. The talented pianist and burlesque dancer, who has performed for Elton John, opens up about how she came to terms with her functional alcoholism – and when she was no longer functional – here.
Elsewhere, read William Sitwell’s review of Borough Market’s Agora. Plus, for those with green fingers, use this bank holiday weekend to create a stunning late-summer display in your garden. And for those who are not gardening inclined, discover Surrey’s prettiest villages.
