Rockin' the boat
How a musician strummed through Sydney Harbour in his floating guitar!
Singer-songwriter Josh Pyke might have considered playing an upbeat version of Handel's Water Music as he sailed across Sydney Harbour - but he was too busy keeping his floating guitar under control. Tourists stared in amazement as Josh steered the large guitar, complete with outboard motor, around the harbour, creating one of the strangest sights since the arrival of the First Fleet from England back in 1788.
Josh's voyage on board the SS Maton - named after Australian guitar manufacturer Maton, who designed the curious vessel - was caught on film for the video that will be coming out with his new single Make You Happy.
It is a giant-sized replica of the acoustic instrument Josh uses in the video. Dressed in ancient mariner's clothes, Josh, a maritime history fan, did not even get his feet wet as he cruised among the yachts and the ferries crossing the harbour.
Once filming has been finished Josh plans to auction the boat for charity.
