Devon's so-called 'Piano Bike Girl' will tonight turn on the Christmas lights in her home town of Ilfracombe.
Chloe Marie Aston's known for busking using her specially-created piano bike and is now back on the road after her van was stolen a few weeks ago.
The 21 year old said: "It's really an honour that this year I'm switching on the town's Christmas lights
"It's really, really special - especially at Christmas time."
Chloe says she enjoyes the 'instant feedback' from busking, adding: "People aren't paying for tickets to come and see you. You're not guaranteed an audience so people just going about their day if they stop it means they really appreciate what you're doing."
