UKC

Went to Chester on Tuesday and saw a jolly interesting chap playing a home-made electric violin. I enjoyed his music so much that I bought a CD from him.

In reply to The Lemming: got about three albums - he's very good. Been busking a long time.

Ed Alleyne-Johnson is the nuts!

Here he is with New Model Army, not played with them for a while though.

In reply to The Lemming: I knew who it would be as soon as you described him - seem him with NMA, but I've also seen him in Llangollen on the banks of the Dee. He's very, very good, but his mrs really can't sing. I once saw him 'n' her do Moonlight Shadow, and it was like this

In reply to toad:

The two of them have done an album together and it's dire.

'Ultraviolet' is a brilliant album though.

In reply to The Lemming:

Another cracking band I saw busking were Elephant Talk.

In reply to The Lemming:

If he is who I think he is, he's busking in York all the chuffing time. Personally I think busking with amps should be banned.

In reply to violentViolet:

So in reply to your question, where this particular busker is concerned, the answer would be 'yes'

In reply to The Lemming:

Best i ever seen busking were these two youtube.com/watch?v=xthnN5kUGNU&

They are still regularly at Liverpool St station, and the sound in there is just amazing.

In reply to Mr Lopez:

I want her babies.

In reply to The Lemming:

Excellent! Like a one-man Apocalyptica (first two albums anyway!).

I saw an amazing bass player in Edinburgh during the festival - first
time I'd bought a CD from a busker. I think I may have filmed a bit - will
have a look and you-tube if so.

In reply to Cobbler:
...found the (empty) CD sleeve: Wojtek Gasiorowski - nowt on 'tube.
