Tim Vincent-Smith, Lead Artist and Co-Director of Pianodrome joins Earth Care for episode 11 of the Sustainability in the Live Music Industry series.
Pianodrome’s home base is in Edinburgh, Scotland and is a radical re-imagining of the piano in today’s throw away culture.
In 2017, bandmates Tim Vincent-Smith and Matthew Wright developed a creative way to extend the piano’s story while diverting it from a landfill. The team at Pianodrome built the first amphitheatre made entirely from upcycled pianos and delivered it to Edinburgh Fringe Fest where it saw 18,000 visitors. Since then, the Pianodrome has evolved into an iconic symbol of community and cultural resilience.
They’re a volunteer-based team that welcomes donated pianos and host adopt-a-piano days. Their creations include the Glasgow Arc, Leeds Piano Trail, Old Royal Pianodrome and more.
In this episode, Tim Vincent-Smith walks us through the careful labour that goes into dissecting a piano, then upcycling it into something new. He shares details on their adopt-a-piano days and how many pianos it takes to build an amphitheater. Tim also shares a few special stories about musical experiences from the amphitheater and the community it’s built.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
