Busking around Europe

Hasn't your heart softened after watching this video? These young Paraguayans, who not only made very decent instruments from trash but also play them beautifully, are a clear example of how music can make a big difference in any child's life.

Matt, a good friend of mine who lives in Bristol, will spend this summer 2014 cycling around Europe with an amp, guitar and microphone, playing music to raise some money for a great charity: Musequality. This charity's mission is to support communal music-making for disadvantaged boys and girls in developing countries, giving them the skills, confidence and experience they need to turn their lives around.

He will be setting off around the 11th June during the World busk week, stopping in London before hitting the continent, following a rough draft route: Brussels, Berlin, Prague, Munich, Milan, Lyon, Barcelona, Paris.. and back to Bristol. You can follow his route on Twitter (@MattJHollins) and request any song you want him to play!

He hasn't even left yet and he has already raised 115 pounds. If you would like to donate some money for this good cause, check the website. If everybody puts their two cents, I am sure we will make a big difference in those children's lifes.
