Actor and musician Chris Dingli has entered the Top 10 list of buskers in the London Underground and is climbing up the chart.

Mr Dingli, currently living in London, was recently awarded a licence to perform with his viola in the London Underground, a practice popular in cities all around the world known as "busking".

Thousands of members of the public are voting at www.buskear.com for their favourite busker on the Underground. The winning busker will be awarded a number of prizes, crowned "BusKING" of London and will perform in the opening slot in a London concert of an internationally renowned act.

Contrary to popular belief, buskers on the London Underground must first audition in front of a judging panel, then gain a special licence to be able to play at specific sites at certain tube stations.

Only the top 10 buskers in the competition by the end of this Sunday will move forward to the next round of public voting. Everybody else will be eliminated from the competition.

The competition rules allow the public to vote once a day.
