Don't Fear The Reaper - Ed Alleyne-Johnson -York Electric Violinist

Ed Alleyne-Johnson is a British electric violinist and prolific busker. He has been busking since he was a Fine Art student at Oxford University in the early 1980s. He uses an electric violin that he carved with a kitchen knife, a custom pedal-board, and an amplifier which he modified to run off rechargeable batteries. This setup has enabled him to perform on the street in almost every major city in Europe, and across the United States and Canada.

Brilliant video of an excellent artist. I've seen Ed perform many times in Chester and have all his music. I've also searched YouTube often for videos but never seen one as clear or with as good sound as this. My congratulations and thanks!
