Buskers are a feature of the city, good ones are generally welcome, the less good are a nuisance for shop keepers and locals alike who have to listen to repetitive music played badly. The Glass Caves I am happy to report were very good and attracted quite crowd outside All Saints Church.
I encountered an old guy with a horrible voice the other day - I felt sorry for him since I don't think he will make much money from his performance.
ReplyDeleteUnusual to see a busker set up a drum kit- they look a lovely bunch!
ReplyDeleteI love the word "busking." I don't know if it's used in other parts of the States but around here folks just say "street performers." "Buskers" is better.
ReplyDeleteChrissy is right it is unusual for a drummer to be involved in busking. Here in Leeds we are lucky to have some quite good ones.
