Hats off to the Buskers!

I was walking down Buchanan Street the other day and on my travels came across a  few buskers-some of them more "interesting" than good- but none the less all of them adding to the buzz and atmosphere that Glasgow is best known for.

One of the buskers I found really interesting and talented was a young guy called Daniel Docherty.  With a mixture of classic indie tunes and some brilliant acoustic versions of current pop music, he was really entertaining!  I got chatting to Daniel and with a genuinely nice personality and some cheeky banter it was easy to see why he had young girls checking him out as they walked past!


Daniel is a music student by day and works in a karaoke restaurant by night. Any spare minute of the day he has, he can be found busking anywhere from Glasgow to Edinburgh.  Fair to say this guy lives and breaths music!

Speaking to Daniel it was clear his love for music started at a young age as he spoke a lot about school talent shows.  I think his cover versions are very unique.  When I was speaking to him he told me to check out some of his stuff on YouTube and i found this video which I think is brilliant.



Dan Doc is an great young musician who is clearly doing everything he can to become a big success in the future and I hope he achieves his goals as he'd definitely be on my playlist!
