Joe Mc and I were talking about buskers in a different thread, but I'm posting here to keep on topic in other thread.
Joe very kindly sent a link to hear a busker in Leeds UK , and I was thrilled and delighted to know this busker very well ( Mike Iredale) and used to love watching him in the city centre where I worked for many years.
So this got me thinking about another busker that was there and had a beautiful voice too . A younger man with dark hair and he used to sing Donavans "catch the wind" so hauntingly that you drawn to him as though in some hypnotic state even if you couldn't where he was.
His voice drew you to him.
So I've tried looking him up on you tube and the only one I can find is a young dark haired man called "Jonny walker" that was a legend in Leeds and many other town centres and he did indeed sing "catch the wind" , but sadly he took his own life in 2018 aged just 37.
Such a lovely talent.

" Hope you are still singing in heaven Jonathan. Rest in peace ".
