Deaf pianist auditions for talent show

A severely deaf schoolboy is aiming to prove he's got talent as a pianist after auditioning for Simon Cowell's latest X-Factor style TV show.

15-year-old Greg Braim from Doncaster took part in the Manchester auditions of 'Britain's got talent', having perfected his piano-playing by feeling the vibrations he gets from the keys.

Greg's mum Julie says: "I'm so proud to be his mother. He's overcome all the obstacles he's had in front of him. Disability doesn't matter if you want it enough and you get the support you need you can achieve anything. He's on the piano all the time and if he's not doing that he's writing music on the computer. He just loves it, its what he wants to do professionally".

Greg is also set to play at the Doncaster Music Service's 75th birthday concert on 17-18 March.
