How do you orchestrate a meeting with your hero? For Tate Sheridan it was simple: a clandestine operation involving a long and heartfelt letter, a demo CD, some wrapping paper and sneaky dash backstage at a big Elton John gig.

Two years later, Tate was to join his now mentor on tour, performing in front of 38,000 Elton John fans playing the actual piano of a real life rock and roll god. Thanks to Tate Sheridan for scoring this episode and for allowing us to use his music. Tracks in the episode are 'Life Was Lonely', 'Fade to Black' and 'Angel Man'
