More info from BBC programme synopsis: “First to arrive in the barn is Toby from Berkshire, with a keyboard that was the sound of his hero, Dave Greenfield of The Stranglers. A lifelong fan of the band, Dave was the inspiration behind Toby’s decision to take up the keyboard himself. Five years ago, when Dave sadly passed away, in an incredible turn of events, his bandmates invited Toby to join them as the new Stranglers keyboard player, and Dave’s original keyboard was gifted to him. Now broken, it poses a substantial challenge for organ restorer David Burville, who repairs the keys and enlists the help of electrical guru Mark Stuckey to get this iconic instrument – once touched by Toby’s hero – playable again.”
