Still can’t believe that I got to speak to and sing along with @Lin_Manuel at a little pub in Cardiff. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/1ou2xBFFEqHigh school music teacher Neil Parker, who organizes the shindig with friends, told the WalesOnline website they had tweeted Miranda on multiple occasions “over the last few weeks” inviting him to attend. Miranda is currently filming an adaption of Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” in the Welsh capital, per the BBC. Then, on Thursday morning, Miranda replied “asking if there was any chance he could come along and we could sort something out,” Parker explained. The rest, as they say, is musical history ― and a wonderful memory for those in attendance, including Parker ― who described accompanying Miranda on piano as “nerve-wracking.”
