The photo above is long overdue, I have photographed this busker in Leeds a couple of times. He is a well known local busker Tristan Mackay, who does a really good version of "All along The Watchtower" which is a song I really like since I saw Hendrix on the Isle of Wight. Tristan was performing on Briggate, Leeds just across from Marks & Spencer.
When I looked up Tristan on Google I found that he was on the BBC's Look North programme and it is on here Tristan Mackay Look North.

Tristan Mackay calls himself "The Bedroom Orchestra" and sells his music online and on the street here in Leeds, Yorkshire.

This guy is my favourite busker... I put him on my blog too. I love to sit and listen when he is playing.
ReplyDeleteDo you think he'll join the X Factor this year? :D I enjoy listening to buskers IF they have a good voice and they seem to enjoy what they're doing.
ReplyDeleteSorry for not visiting sooner. I was away for 3 days. Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come back tomorrow for a new series!

He is good, thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good photo. I would like to hear him play and sing. Does he have a video on You Tube?
ReplyDeletelooks like there are so many musicians in Leeds! Often that also means there are many public spaces for them to perform in. Is that the case?
