BOXING Day shoppers at Braehead were today treated to a virtuoso piano performance from a young keyboard wonderkid.
Nathan Lee, 10, played both classical music and pop songs on a piano the shopping centre has placed in the upper mall.
The kind-hearted schoolboy from Paisley was raising money for Cash for Kids and shoppers were asked to donate what they could to his bucket collection.

Glasgow Academy pupil Nathan has been playing the piano since he was just five and his school friends have already dubbed him ‘King of the Piano’.
He wowed the crowds with classical pieces like Mozart’s Turkish March and Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky Korsakov.
But he also played pop songs like All of Me, by John Legend, the Wiz Khalif and Charlie Puth hit, See you Again and the Lewis Capaldi chart-topper, Someone You Loved.
Nathan brought some of his musically talented friends, Wenhao Hu and twins, Mia and Emma Liu, to also play.
He said: “This is the first time I’ve performed asking people to donate money to charity.
“I’ve been practising for hours every day and I really enjoyed playing for the people shopping at Braehead.”

Peter Beagley, Braehead’s centre director, said: “This was a really special treat for shoppers.
“Nathan is unbelievable on the piano – and it’s even more amazing since he’s only ten years old.
“The piano is always in the upper mall and Nathan has hopped on to the piano stool and played several times before. Whenever Nathan plays, he wows the shoppers and a big crowd gathers to hear him and video his performance.”
