Picture of A one Hand pianist

As a teenager seeking a place at a school for
young pianists, Nicholas McCarthy was refused an
audition and told he would never succeed.
He was told that having one hand would always
hold him back and it was better not to waste his
and other people's time.
But he was determined to follow his ambition, and
has since become the first one-handed pianist
known to graduate from the Royal College of
Music.
