A 12-year-old boy known for busking on Market Street and wowing shoppers with his vocals has appeared on hit TV show America's Got Talent - and got a standing ovation from all the judges.
And the clip of his audition, in which judge Sofía Vergara told him he was 'going to be a rock star', has already received almost two million views on Youtube and earned him quite the following on social media.Alfie is no stranger to performing - having previously been filmed singing the likes of Whitney Houston to shoppers along Market Street as many stopped in awe to watch the youngster.
The youngster, who attends Priestnall High School in Heaton Mersey, previously went viral on social media site TikTok and made headlines after he was seen busking in Manchester to raise money for the children of Ukraine, back in March last year. "Singing is all he has ever wanted to do. He isn't like a typical kid playing video games - he comes straight in from school and just wants to go upstairs and sing," his dad Ste said.
