Passenger talks to Stu about busking and performs two live tracks

Mike Rosenberg AKA Passenger dropped in to In:Demand Towers to perform his hit single, Let Her Go as well as his new release, Heart's on Fire.

Afterwards, Stu asked him about his experiences travelling the world busking. "I've been busking for years, it's something that I just love doing. I started five or six years ago because I was broke and I had no way of getting my music to people.

"It just seemed to be this thing where I didn't need a record label or a promoter to put a gig on for me, I could just grab my guitar and CDs and go. I've done it ever since and that's what's paid for the last five records and my touring.

"It created a really strong, solid fan base. Small, but solid. It was really cool going around the country and just seeing your gigs getting bigger by about four or five people a time!"
