1814: You have been singing all over, touring with Elli Goulding... but before that you sang in the London tube for a while.... How was that? Were there any particular incidents that you could tell us about?RT: It was pretty good actually... I was busking in the London underground for about two years, and I thought it was actually quite a cool way to feel a part of London... being visible throughout different stations in London and having random connections with people passing through or watching people either ignore you or perk up and stay and watch you for a couple of minutes. I thought it would be interesting and it is quite amazing to learn that the general public are a lot more friendly and lok and more up for talking to people and music than anyone would give them credit for, so I made quite a lot of friends playing in the underground. It was usually plain sailing... I only had two instances where someone shouted abuse at me in two years and it was both the same woman. She was just obviously some unhappy city worker... she would walk past every morning and one morning she just screamed 'fuck off' at me but everyone looked around at her and gave her the worst looks and the next person to walk past would drop me a pound or something because people realized that she was just a bit unhinged.... I finished in 2008.
