Everyone who lives in a big city knows how often you can see street performers showing off their talents on the sidewalk. But it is very rare to meet someone who is incredibly talented!
On a cold winter evening, street musician Johnny Walker decided to include a special guest in his performance.
Johnny decided to give it a try after a homeless man asked him if he could join him. He’s very glad he did!
And Bernard Davey, the homeless man in the movie, is a well-known character in the neighborhood with a fascinating story. Bernard, a father of two, was once a prominent figure on the Irish folk scene and an actor on the popular television show Harry’s Game.
Bernard’s vocal abilities are evident from the moment he begins to sing.Johnny wrote that as an itinerant musician, he spends a lot of time outdoors and has seen this guy many times over the years, unaware that he sings. Over the years, his health and well-being have deteriorated considerably.
People were so captivated by his unique voice that they asked a passerby to record the performance on his phone camera. He posted the video on his Facebook page, where it quickly went viral and received hundreds of reposts. He also said that his impromptu street jam with Bernard Davey was an inspiring and educational experience that embodied everything he loves about street culture.
We really hope that Bernard’s incredible impromptu performance will also remind people to always look not just at the outside, but at the person inside and not make hasty judgments about the people they meet on the street.
