Barry Colson, the piano man of Davos, is moving out ReutersDavos WEF20
DAVOS, Switzerland - For 25 years he had the ear of world leaders, CEOs and even rock stars at Davos, but the Swiss ski resort’s most-listened to man has moved on.
Now, his gig is up. Colson said his contract was not renewed for 2020. The owner of the Hotel Europe, which is on the town’s main promenade, did not respond to several requests by Reuters for comment. Colson says Bono, Peter Gabriel, Hollywood producer James Cameron and Google founder Eric Schmidt are just some of the high-profile Davos attendees who have turned up to hear him belt out songs over the years, some joining him in a tune.
“Davos is very structured. It’s rigid in its form and designed not to embarrass or offend anyone, ever,” Prince said.
