Elevator music is bad even at the best of times, but that all changes when rock star Dave Grohl steps in – accompanied by a full jazz band!

Tony Cochrane was travelling in the lift while backstage at the Grammy Awards when it stopped at a floor and the Foo Fighters frontman stepped in.

Tony said: “My business partner Ken and I were heading up to one of the suites backstage for refreshments when the lift began to descend.

“The further down we went, the louder the music was, but because we were backstage we just thought it was one of the bands warming up. Next thing I know, the doors open and Dave Grohl saunters in beating a drum with a crowd of musicians who were also playing instruments!”

Dave, former drummer with Nirvana, never missed a beat as he accompanied the Preservation Hall Jazz Band as they kicked off the start of the awards ceremony.

And Tony was delighted to be given a private performance ahead of the packed out arena.

He said: “I now know one thing about the awards, elevators are the place to meet people in LA!”
