The well-known Piano Bike Girl is due to busk in Melksham’s Market Place on Saturday 12th April as part of her UK-wide challenge to busk in every town in the country.
Musician Chloe Marie Aston, from Devon, rides a piano bike and has already busked in over 150 towns across the UK. Recently, she made it her mission to visit every town, performing a wide range of songs, including her own original material.
You can catch her performance in the Market Place on Saturday 12th April from 11am to 3pm. She will also be performing at The Frome Flea Market & Craft Fair, held at West Woodlands Showground, Frome this Sunday 13th April (see details on centre pages).
With a background in drama and music, Chloe developed an interest in open mics and performing covers of songs.
However, when she was 14 years old, she found the strings of her guitar hurt her fingers and so her dad came up with the idea of a piano on a bike.
“Soon after, we started building it together, and it was ready for the summer of 2019,” says Chloe. “I finished school in 2020, and since then, I have been improving my songwriting skills and have released a few songs using a distribution app. I am now studying a music performance course in further education while building my presence on YouTube by releasing music videos for my original songs as well as covers. And, of course, I am still busking with my piano bike!”
