  • incredible stuff

  • 3 cords beautiful yet so simple xx

  • i love this yet sometimes listen to reggae and jungle what a difference lol it brings u back 2 earth i think!

  • @penguinchristina haha nope. he uses a custom violin he made himself and it has five strings instead of four

  • First I've heard of him was last week, watching a Colin Firth video on youtube to his brilliant piece, "Orange." Haven't stopped listening to it since! Fantastically talented man. Both of them, lol.

  • Oh guys, He's amazing alive. I got marvelled by him last year in Chester where I think he still busks every sunny day. No words to comment, brilliant. Those who say something negative about him are jerks at music. He's an excellent guy and signs every record you want him to.

    Tahnks a lot Ed, you made me cry listening Pachelbel's Canon. Thanks indeed.

  • the best........only the best......greetens from Jalisco Mexico very nice

  • I'm so happy he is still so creative...I remeber 91'or 92' in Warsaw Poland...club Fugazi...he was playing as support metal group Paradise Lost...I was working there and one of technic-guy made a copy "Purple Violin..."for me.I still have it..and love it

  • absolutley exquisite

  • My late father used to listen to Ed's opus beata 'Purple Violin Concertos' all the time. Whenever I hear Ed's violin I feel close to dad. Excellent and emotive stuff :)

  • just makes me smile :D there is nothing wrong when this kind of music grips you.

  • You are amazing musician.

  • Isn't this U2 With or Without You? Stunning track and a brilliant take on it.

  • it's a he? I thought it was a woman :D, no offence, I probobly watched the wrong video :)

  • You can buy these on amazon for 70p, this guy deserves that at least. I never buy music tbh, but this man has no manager and he really is amazing, please buy some of his songs!

    Anyone know where i can download this in MP3 ?

    thanks

  • amazing.

  • This guy is awesome.

  • I love how this guy modernizes the violin and makes it look exciting for younger people, this guy is a genius, i stopped playing violin after half a year and started playing electric guitar which i still play and now i wanna try violin again and maybe get a hip electric violin to learn to play neoclassical like this guy does.

  • I love Ed Alleyne and love your video....thanx so much

    5*s and favs

  • Always love to listen to him whenever I walk past him in York town center... I've gotta get some of his CDs next time!

    Ed if you read this pls respond!!!

    grtz and thx for the nice music keeps me going...!!!!

  • i believe he has a website but i don't know the address but if you could find it i'm sure they will be avaialble on there. In York on Saturday he said they were available for download off itunes. hope this helps

  • i dont want him to play ''classic' this is much nicer :D

    the 20 sentuary violin :)

  • i agree, but i think every song he plays is great, he got the gift to play viollin... :D

  • chesters loss ...the city of yorks gain ....i first saw this guy playing in nottingham outside the braod marsh shopping centre in the mid 80s ..he was awsome then and even more awsome now ......thanx for posting ....

  • does this guy play any classic music pieces?

  • Well, atleast he covered canon in D, by Pachelbel.

    Don't know about others though.

  • He released a new album, called Symphony. The first 4 tracks on this record are classical violin. The other 6 tracks are 'modern'. He made those pieces not only with the electric violin, but he also uses percussioninstruments and syntersizer on this album. I really recommend it to you to buy it some day.

  • this is hauntingly beautiful, this guy rocks!

  • everytime i listen to ed my hairs stand up on the back of my neck, awsome, and my 7 year ols son loves this track

  • Ed.... get ur butt back to Chester ... i miss hearing ur haunting melodies echo through the streets.... besides... my mates nicked ur cd off me and i want to buy another....

    Keep rocking...

  • super-duper-sicko-matic !!!!!

  • my favorite parts start from 1:35 to 1:50. lol

  • this is my fave song off his album echoes

  • i saw him play this live in the street in york a few weeks ago he is AMAZING!!!

  • tell him to come back to chester

  • chester wont let him get a licence to play there anymore but york will

  • Beautiful <3.

  • Does he have a website or a place i can buy his albums?

  • if u go 2 amozon u can get dem of der

  • I'm pretty sure he has a website. Search his name in Google search engine (or any other search engine, really) and it should pop up.

  • I've been a fan of Ed for years, He's from Liverpool where I grew up watching his busk in town. Every time I hear him I get goosebumps. Such an amazing guy - not the commercial crap that record companies pump out on a daily basis. He has a few albums, all of which are incredible. His wife is a singer, how lucky are their kids?! x

  • very lucky lol

  • @LickleVickle

    How is Ed getting on in life? Does he busk to live or just because he loves to do it?

  • @LickleVickle im his second cousin! :D

  • @LickleVickle I too am mesmerized by Ed... having stood smoking where Ed played in York the week before that clip was captured... I have to come back to the UK to find him again and buy his music from him... I could order it online but would miss hearing it the way Ed does... limitless as he plays to the sky....to catch the winds and dance across the ether... if you see him again... enjoy extra for me :~) Peace

  • awsome, made me live another day./

  • I know this may sound a bit retarted but what instrument is this

  • It's an electric violin.

  • Really original and interesting. Completely fresh sound completely unlike any other. Almost anyone can appreciate the musical talents of Ed Alleyne-Johnson.

  • This music from this very talented artist and awsome individualist is way beyond anything I have ever heard with this instrument. You should read about him on Wikipedia.....My kind of human being.

  • Arr, me has this on my computer - and I actually paid for it. One of the few records I ever actually *bought* and damn proud of it! The whole album was made of awesome

  • Es sorprendente, hace poco lo acabo de escuchar y su talento es simplemente sorprendente!!

  • OMG WOW AMAZING!!!!

    I am going to learn this!!

  • See Facebook groups:

  • enya, who the *peeep* is enya!? she haves nothing to do with this guy... he is amazing...

  • anyone like enya? i do!

  • we burn the fat off our souls.. - hemmingway

  • food for the soul

  • I too enjoy eds music before i die i want to be able to create a beautiful peace of music such as ed our make a drawing that will bring tears to people's eyes.

  • I've seen Ed live in York nearly every Saturday afternoon for the last month or two. Sounds awesome live too - I always have to stop and listen!

    Usually around He sounds as good live
