Went to Chester today with the missus for a day out, while we were there we came across a busker playing an electric violin. Long haired scruffy fella he was but bloody hell could he play that violin, well impressed! He was selling CDs, sorry I didn't buy one now @jivedubbin have you seen this guy? Any good buskers in your town?
There are some really talented street musicians about. Trouble is if you bought their CDs they wouldn't be the same as actually watching live. We saw a guy in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago playing a 5 string guitar. For each piece he played he first built up the backing on a recording thing that he operated with his feet. He was very good.
Yes, effin brilliant, I could have sat there all day listening to him, apparently he was with New Model Army for 5 years. Just found his website and bought a couple of CDs
@Colin yes quite often watch electric violinist bloke, he always has a crowd and. Always gets the tourists watching
There's 3 lads that do rock an roll, charts and the Beatles, they are superb I always sit and watch them while Kate does the shops, sometimes And an old boy joins in with his spoons, they don't mind or seem not to
There is one on our coach service, you give him your money ,he gives you a ticket. Oh sorry that's busconducter
Most inventive busker I ever saw was years and years ago in Cambridge - managed to pull off a fairly decent version of The Prodigy's "Firestarter" on acoustic guitar.
The ones on the Underground tend to be gash...but then so would anyone be in the tunnels of misery and ignorance with such poor air quality..
