Violinist in global charity busk

A Proms violinist is planning to spend five months busking his way around the world to raise money for charity.

David Juritz is travelling across 25 countries over the next four-and-a-half months, after setting off from a London Tube station yesterday.



The 60,000 mile trip, called Round the World and Bach, will be paid for by the money he earns from passers-by.

Any further money raised will be donated to a music charity that helps people in the developing world.

He will be seeking sponsorship for a new fund, Musequality, which is intended to support communal music projects in poor areas.
