HE is the Buskerman, he comes from down your way - and he can play!

Ross Sanderson - aka The Buskerman - is the latest talent to emerge from the Daily Echo's talent search.

Ross sent us a video of himself performing his catchy title track The Buskerman, a great example the talent Hampshire has to offer.

Ross, from Southampton, said: "I've been playing drums since I was 12 but when I was 15 I picked up a guitar and it went on from there.

"I have been a regular on the Southampton gig scene for a while and in September I'm off to New Zealand to devote a year of my life to making music."

Ross, who works as a carer in the New Forest, said the name The Buskerman' represents the style of music he plays.

"I always play live," he said.

"I have a very raw sound - I don't like stuff that's been laden with effects in studios."
