Ironic... This guy is a skilled violinist while Axl Rose has a voice like a violin amateur.

What a bunch of cheap ignorant people. Jesus, this dude is loaded with talent. I'm pretty sure he will be noticed. Rockin' with the violin, come on, how often do you see this?

Come on people! Pay the man! He's doing great! Damn... People are just walking by. I guess he's chosen the most boring town of all he could find. No rock n' roll for its citizens

This guy is so talented. He used to busk in Oxford all the time back in the early nineties. If you want to listen to some of his music the try the Purple Violin Concerto.

hold on, they are not all cheap!
at 2:44 a man is dropping a penny while passing by
and I expect people to pay afterwards, off camera, they were all standing behind the camera man, out of the road, because carbage trucks pass through there (at 3:20), lol
great music, checking out some more allready

woow brillant.. Here is only 1 thing missing. DRUM KIT!!! It could have been even better, if Joey Jordison on it.

This is York in England. I have stood where the camera is for ages just listening, he is fantastic.
He used to play the violin for the group New Model Army.
What is not clear from this clip is that he plays ALL the parts starting from the rythm, then builds up using delay lines to get the final full sound. So that isnt a backing track on CD. He laid it dowm a few minutes earlier.
Brilliant

I remember seeing this guy busking in Liverpool City Centre in the late 1980's - Early 1990's and I've never before or since seen anyone attract a ring of people around him so huge that it's awesome just watching the crowd mesmerized. I wanna see him win 'Britain's Got Talent' or at least perform with David Gilmour!!

BTW the violin he uses is home made.
Check him out on youtube there's tons of his stuff...........

why is everyone just walking by ??? if i was there i would stop and watch the entire performance!!!
i guess music like this just doesnt sell today which is very disappointing. This man has far more music talent then those pop singers or rappers. People need to wake up and realize that they are buying into shit music.
As many styles come and go, the world tends to work in complete circles, and everything is in a loop, maybe, just maybe, people will come back to their musical senses and gifted people will be awarded for their talent and skill.
not like cheap vibrato but an actual "bend"31

Why isn't anybody paying him or at least watching him? I would pay him money but somehow my monitor stops me... Very nice performance!
