London's West End Bids Farewell to Jimmy Hardwick, Iconic Resident Pianist at Joe Allen Restaurant

London has held a memorial service for Jimmy Hardwick--the beloved resident pianist at Joe Allen restaurant. Hardwick died in January, and his service was held at St. Paul's, the so-called "actors' Church" in Covent Garden. His was the face and his were the melodies that greeted diners at the restaurant, often frequented by the leading lights of the West End.
