Every day, as three and a half million commuters cross London on the city's Underground, the tube's buskers do their best to spread some musical magic.
For the past 20 years or so, musicians have been granted licences allowing them to perform at 40 authorised busking pitches within the network's stations.
Transport for London (TFL) is now on the hunt for fresh blood to add to their cohort of talented entertainers, holding live station auditions under the watchful eye of Ann Gavaghan, TFL's busking scheme manager.
Despite their audiences being somewhat transient, musicians like singer songwriter Macy O jump at the chance to have the tunnels echo with their music.
A shortlisting process whittled down the over 480 applications from artists to a ten day schedule of 280 auditionees who are afforded the opportunity to showcase their skills in the second round.
Performing live before a judging panel composed of seasoned musicians and station employees, they're hoping to capture the judges' attention as a gifted performer who can add variety to TFL's diverse mix of acts.
This essential consideration prompted Michael Harvey's own application.
Whether these would be underground icons are wide-eyed students honing their craft or retirees seeking out a new career, the pull of live performance is a common bond that unites them.
Rewarding their efforts with your loose change or a contactless contribution to show your appreciation also safeguards this tradition of public music going forward.
