Parisian Walkways London Underground Virtuoso Guitarist Busker

I just got a new camera (Sony Webbie) and decided to try it out on London Underground filming some of the cool buskers. My camera skills suck, so no need to whine. But it's cool and kind of eerie walking through the underground and hearing the distant sound of a busker as you walked towards the platform. It often starts off as a faint echo-y sound that becomes louder as you approach. I love encountering the London UG buskers. Just one of the things I love about London!

This dude kills! So I'm sure the thugs in the British equivalent of the RIAA will be knocking him up for a cut of his take if the chavs don't roll him first.

Thanks for posting this!

There's buskers like this all over the underground and they have allocated busking spots with power sockets and so on. Not sure how they get the gig, whether it's just a case of finding a spot and setting up stand, or whether they have to apply, or even if they are paid - I dunno. It makes riding the tube loads of fun though! I am about to upload another vid of a guitarist who tears it up but has a physical disability. Pretty awesome really - check back soon.

this is the reason why i hate english people they wouldnt know talent if it hit them in thier face i mean take this video for example just because the guitarist isnt a well known player like slash or may everyone just walks past and carrys on like zombies at least the guy with the camera recognised skill when he heard it
