Policeman joins busker for popular rendition of Wonderwall

Members of the public out shopping in Birmingham recently were surprised to find a policeman singing his heart out alongside a busker in the city centre.

Videos taken by passers-by show PC Ian Northcott indulging in a rendition of Wonderwall by Oasis after picking up a busker's guitar.

The clip has since become a hit on YouTube, with many people stunned by the officer's confidence, although he later admitted it is not the first time he has teamed up with a busker for an impromptu performance.

"It was such a lovely day, everyone seemed happy, it just felt such a natural thing to do. Noel would have been proud I hope," PC Northcott said, in reference to Oasis creator Noel Gallagher.

He went on to explain that the police are always looking for new ways to "break down barriers" between themselves and members of the public and this seems to have been one.
