Nose trumpeting blogger finds fame on web and TV

Mark Goodwin, a British musician and piano salesman, has found fame across the web and on terrestrial TV thanks to his unique brand of music-making.

According to the Oldham Advertiser:

Mark Goodwin recorded a song in his bedroom using his hands, mouth and nose and then posted it online on his own internet blog.

Within a few weeks the 27-year-old was astonished to be contacted by a television producer who wanted to screen it on a new Channel 4 show.

And that was just the start, as Mark has since gone on to make three TV appearances inside a week.

Mark holds a music degree from Leeds University but he certainly didn’t play his home-made instrument during his time there. “There wasn’t a lot of time to play the nose trumpet on the classical music course I did, but I kept it up in my spare time and learned how to hold a tune eventually,” he said.

Mark’s video was viewed on YouTube over 2500 times in 12 hours.

Well done Mark!
