This is the joyous moment a busker’s Hungarian tunes brought life to Bradford city centre. 

The singer has become a regular busking act on Kirkgate and never fails to get his fan club up dancing.

Resident Jo Singh filmed the singer performing upbeat Hungarian pop song Cigánybál by Stefano.

Jo’s footage was shared far and wide on social media as she reminded people: “The city centre can be a lovely place.”

Jo told the Telegraph & Argus: “I try to be positive about Bradford as much as possible, although I can’t deny that it has become a different place to live over recent years.

“It is often empty of both people and shops. There are people in the centre every day who make it feel like an unsafe place to be, but it can have many great moments too.

“When I saw this busker again and watched people dancing it reminded me that the city centre can be a lovely place. There was a great mixture of people of all ages and backgrounds just enjoying his singing and style of music.

“Wonderful to see the older lady dancing with the younger man and both looking very happy. Music really does bring people together."

She added: “On this day [Saturday, November 12] the centre was very busy with lots happening all over.

“It felt like old times and gave me a bit of confidence that this city can still create a good vibe.

“Whenever I go to Leeds there are always buskers around – most of them are extremely good and I am pleased to see more in Bradford.

“On this day I watched a young lad playing the violin near the Wool Exchange who was very good too.

“I often say to people ‘look up to Bradford’ meaning there are fantastic buildings and architecture all around. This helps me ignore the sadness on the streets of the many ‘To Let’ signs and the decline of the shopping centres and streets.”
