The second movement of The Busker Symphony (2006).
Recorded at DIN Studios, Cable Street, London, and Sonica Studios, Clapham, August 2006.
Produced by Julian Simmons.
Performed by Mark Campbell (whistling) and an orchestra of buskers.
Benjamin first met whistler, Mark Cambell at Liverpool Street Station. Mark is the only busker who is licenced to whistle on the London Underground network.
He also happens to be blind.
He is one of the most fascinating, cultured and intelligent people that Benjamin has ever met, and the experience of workingwith him was an extremely rewarding one.
The top picture shows Mark, with with friend and helper, Craig Crawford-Jones, through the window of a cafe window in Southwark, where the film starts.
The brass section on the track are members of the Becontree Brass Band.
