Amazing UK street performer with an electric violin

[Carol]

[audio engineering hat on]

All the sounds are coming from his one instrument. He's using a digital sampling delay to lay down his "backing track" and a distortion pedal to make his violin sound like a heavy metal axe.

This is WAY cool! His name is Ed Alleyne-Johnson Busking and he was playing in Chester, UK.

His name is Ed Alleyne-Johnson.

"Busking" is a British slang term for performing on a street for money.

I kept expecting him to go all 'Steve Vai' on it, but it just stayed simple the whole way through. Nice work with the multiple delays. I wonder if he's burning batteries or if he was getting power from a street lamp or something? That's a lot of power to run those amps.
