00:00Alright mate? Yeah lad, give us a little tune.
00:07What do you like?
00:08Anything.
00:14Cheers mate.
00:24I've lived in many countries in Europe, I've had many different jobs, I've brought children up
00:29I still have a farm in the south of Spain, in Almeria, and I've been travelling and making music most of my life.
00:40In England, they have this thing called Brexit, anyway, an Englishman can only be 90 days in Europe now,
00:46and I've been, what, 38 years.
00:48I was a knock on the door in October, and they gave me one hour to get what I could carry,
00:54and they took me, put me in a jail overnight, and then put me on a plane back to the UK the next morning.
01:06I seen John playing a little song on the corner, so I said to my mate,
01:12So, as a video to me, I said, alright mate, give us a little tune, and since then, it's just blew up.
01:23I went back to try and find John and show him what's happened, and how much love people have got for him.
01:28So, I went over, showed him all the love he's had, and all the views, and everything, and he was gobsmacked,
01:34and then he's just started playing little songs for me ever since, and I've been keeping an update for the people,
01:39because they request and give us more, we want more, we want to see John, so that's what I've been doing.
01:43Hi everybody, it's me again. Again, I want to thank you all. Here's another song for you.
01:49Three, two, one.
01:51Step inside the eye of your mind.
01:54Everyone was asking on the comments, can we, is there a GoFundMe, is there a GoFundMe, how can we help them, and stuff like that.
02:00So, the best thing to do really was set up a GoFundMe page.
02:03I don't have the words to express my gratitude. I would love the opportunity just to go around,
02:09and get to meet all these beautiful human beings, and see everywhere I can in Great Britain, and show it to Hager, and make music.
