Aled Jones’s falsetto ‘Walking in the Air’ will transport you back to your childhood

Aled Jones sang 'Walking in the Air', Bill Turnbull played his ukulele - and some talented musicians performed their hearts out at a special charity ‘busk-athon’ for Classic FM’s charity, Global’s Make Some Noise.

When we asked Classic FM presenter Aled Jones if he'd join a charity busking session, he delivered big time. 

Dressed loud in blue wig, feather boa and Sergeant Pepper military jacket, Aled sang his biggest hit, Walking in the Air, in falsetto. This is literally the sound of your childhood (if you're in your late 30s/ early 40s).

Accompanying were London Symphony Orchestra violinist Maxine Kwok-Adams, composer and cellist Thomas Hewitt Jones, Classic FM listener and trumpeter Phil Pursglove and Classic FM boss Sam Jackson on piano.

The Classic FM busk-athon actually lasted for six hours and we and filmed it all on Facebook Live. Here are some more highlights:

Fast forward to 20:30 for an excellent 'Game of Thrones' by pro-busker Joel Grainger.
