Incredible moment The ASDA delivery man surprises a client with a perfect interpretation of his grand piano

This is the stunning moment an ASDA delivery driver showed off his hidden talent by performing an impassioned solo on a client’s grand piano, leaving people claiming he’s “wasted on his job”.

Francesca Green saw the “eyes light up” of worker Elly Bajarias when she saw a grand piano in the hallway of her home near Lutterworth, Leicestershire, on May 12.

After hearing that he used to play games, the 36-year-old invited him to play while she unpacked her shopping, but admits that his shyness made her think he “wouldn’t be very good.”

She was stunned when the 54-year-old gave a ‘passionate’ rendition of Yann Tiersen’s Comptine d’un Autre été, L’après-midi – from the classic French film Amelie – as well as the classic hit Ballade pour Adeline and couldn’t It doesn’t help but records impromptu performances.

Striking footage shows Mr. Bajarias’ fingers dancing on the piano to master the ‘tricky’ piece while appearing lost in the moment.

He has since revealed that he is self-taught as his family couldn’t afford lessons when he grew up in the Philippines, but he used to play for a Hong Kong band before moving to the UK 20 years ago.

Mr. Bajarias says he only has one keyboard at home, so it was “nice to feel the soft touch of the ivory” and that the experience was “really nice.”

Ms Green, a mother of two, praised the driver as a “lost talent” in her Facebook post, which has been viewed more than 800,000 times by touched users.

Many said the videos made them ’emotional’, while others even insisted his talent is ‘going to waste’ and he needs to get back on stage.

A stunned manager at ASDA’s Fosse Park store, Leicester, where Mr Bajarias works, says he didn’t even know he could play the piano and was in awe of his talent.

Mrs Green, from Lutterworth, Leicestershire, said: “Her face lit up when she saw the piano.

‘Since he was just standing there while I emptied the baskets, I asked him if he wanted to give it a try. She said it was fine at first but then I said she could do it too.

“I thought he wasn’t going to be very good at first because he was a bit shy, so I left him. When I heard him I realized how good he was.

“I put it down for a minute and then started filming. I wanted to show my family how strange it was that the ASDA delivery man had started playing our piano.

‘I was so into it. It was as if no one else was there. He played it with such passion and he was really moved to be able to play an instrument like that.

“It was very humbling because when my daughter isn’t playing on it, it’s really just collecting dust.”

“When he stopped playing, he said he could sit here all day, but he knew he needed to get back to work. He didn’t want to get up and said that she had made his day.

“We’ve joked that we’re not interested now unless someone can show us a talent when they come to our door. Whoever comes next will feel out of place if he can’t play the piano.

‘He clearly loves him so much. I hope he starts giving concerts again. It is never too late.’

Ms. Green says she originally posted the video privately, but was asked to make it public to showcase Mr. Bajarias’ talents.

The couple have been in contact ever since and the worker at the equipment rental company says that Mr Bajarias has enjoyed reading the praise in his post.

The father of three is reported to have played in a Hong Kong band before moving to the UK 20 years ago and has been working for ASDA for three years.

Mr Bajarias said: ‘I had just arrived at Francesca’s house with the purchases when I saw the grand piano and was mesmerized by it. He had never played in one before. I only have one keyboard at home.

“We got talking and she asked me if I would like to play it. It was really nice. It was nice to feel the smooth touch of ivory, since a keyboard is so different.

‘Francesca’s mother ran in from outside when she heard me play and saw me and said: ‘Is that the Asda Man driver?’ It was fun. He just came out of nowhere.

‘My mother taught me to play the piano when I was about five or six years old. I never had proper lessons with a teacher as we couldn’t afford that in the Philippines at the time.

‘Over the years, I’ve really taught myself. I listen to pieces of music and then I just play them. I don’t look at sheet music.

Ms Green received the grand piano as a gift five years ago and has had lessons ever since, but admits she doesn’t play very well.

His video garnered over 1,300 comments and over 7,000 reactions from stunned users.

The post read: “When the ASDA delivery guy sees your piano in the hallway and says how beautiful it is, he then proceeds to tell you that he used to be in a band but doesn’t get a chance to play anymore because he just has an old keyboard.” at home.

“I invited him to play, of course. What a wasted talent.

One commented: ‘This man needs to get famous! Wasted talent.

Another said: ‘Never judge a book by its cover. Wow this is amazing!’

A second added: ‘A very moving performance. A touch of sadness because he doesn’t normally play the piano, but I hope that will change for him in the future. Wishing him good luck for his future.

A third added: “This got me excited.”

Siten Patel, online business manager for ASDA’s Fosse Park store, Leicester, said: “I didn’t know Elly could play the piano until I saw the video.” It was incredible. He is so talented.

‘He is such a kind person who always sees the good in people. Everyone wants it here.
