Town Hall Italian Violinist

This 'allegro vecchio' popped up in various spots around Sydney CBD. He was always dressed in a suit. He was always totally upbeat. And he always played the exact same tune, all the time. What does it matter, I suppose? Most people won't hear him for longer than one number anyway. (With all that practice it must have been second nature) I liked the way he punctuated the piece with exuberant shouts of "Hey!", "Ole!" etc. This was about 5 years ago - wonder if he's still around?
