That's quite a claim to fame if you live there :)

This video from ten years ago when I still lived in Willesden, now has over 6000 views. It's not the highest number I ever got but this is probably the best amateur video I made. It's a street guy about whose name there was some disagreement. Here he is singing a good old Elvis song (This Time You Gave Me A Mountain) for his friends who used to sit on the wall outside the library and the world. I told him I was going to film him for YouTube. #Willesden #Elvis #Streetlife
