Awesome Electric Violin - Ed Busking Chester



Ed Alleyne-Johnson Busking Electric Violin in Chester UK - May 2006Fantastic - This is perhaps the best street performance I have ever witnessed. Reminiscent of Jean Luc Ponte's visceral fusion sound. This is in the city of Chester near Wales. Chester has perhaps the only double decker shopping plaza streets, with a second level up off the street within the buildings, balconies running all the way down the streets. jablesj comments - "They were made by the victorians so that rich people would not get wet while out in the rain." The sound is unaltered from the original and was emancipated at great volume in this old town.Ed uses the looper and pedals to great effect. There are no overdubs. Incredible he commanded this fantastic show all by himself, I stood enraptured with all the hair on my body standing on end, grin stretched wide. You can see where he looked up to see my ebullient smile just before he grins and kicks in the distortion. This has been a tremendous inspiration for me. I had never heard him or heard of him before this performance. Ed is awesome! I got some albums of his from the web since hearing this. I hope I can see him again one day.

He collaborated with New Model Army on their Top 40 single "Vagabonds", and toured with them for five years, with several concerts in Germany.During his time in Oxford in the late 1980s he played bass guitar in local band, Raindance.[citation needed]He can often[weasel words] be seen performing in Chester city centre, near the Grosvenor shopping precinct, and more recently on the streets of York.

Here are some info ab him on Wiki : Ed Alleyne-Johnson is a British electric violinist and prolific busker. He has been busking for over 20 years, since he was a Fine Art student at Oxford University. He uses an electric violin that he carved with a kitchen knife [1], 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.

I wish I can play like him, I would play this song on a cool summer night, under the moonlight, by a waterfall, to my favorite girl. The music will be carried to her heart by the evening breeze, and her eyes would sparkle like the stars in the skyand life would be beautiful
