Glasgow abuzz about busking sensation Ben Monteith

People come from all over the world to hear Ben Monteith play live on the streets of Glasgow. Voted Radio Clyde's Best Busker, the buzz about Ben began with hits on You Tube - upwards of 30 million of them! Playing his guitar to appreciative audiences of passers-by, complete with cymbals at his feet, his strong, haunting voice compelling attention from the most preoccupied of shoppers and workers - the man has talent and the ability to engage with fans. Once his memorable cover of How to Save a Life by The Fray went viral, there was no stopping this distinctive, large and striking musician. As far as his look goes, it is just his authentic self. "I grew up liking dreadlocks and wanting to get tattoos," says the family man from Pollock, who worked as an apprentice mechanic and furniture deliverer before giving busking a go. Keen to make more music but do it his own unique way, he turned down auditions for TV shows such as The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent. Other artists he has covered include Daft Punk, Adele, Shawn Mendes and James Arthur - an eclectic gathering. He's his own man, and you can hear and see him play live when you buy and sell Ben Monteith tickets at StubHub.
