There's Brooklyn's own Marques Toliver playing violin and singing. While Brick Lane on sunny days such as this often has a bit of a carnival atmosphere, it's not often that you come across street performances of this quality.

Originality is one of those rare things which often fails to impress when it comes to street performers - people tend to stop and appreciate the familiar.
This guy had about about 60 or more people standing from one side of the street to the other mesmerised - first by his beautiful string work and then by his amazing voice.
