Not sure if you have heard of Seasick Steve or not. He is an old blues man who recently became famous in Europe. He is absolutely incredible, and one of my favorites. Here is a video of him on Top Gear. I have also posted a few vids of his songs so you guys can check him out.

If you like Seasick Steve ... check out Ben Prestage. He plays a cig fiddle--it's a guitar of sorts with one bass string, two guitar strings, 2 broomstick handles held together with a hose clamp for a neck. The body is a cigar box. At the same time he is playing a bass drum, snare drum, and high hat symbol with his feet.

Ben plays in Florida quite a bit but both of them are real big in Europe.
