Proper buskers ...

NOT WORK SAFE

To the git who plays four chords badly outside my local shopping mall while his flea infected dog stares forlornly trying to get a sympathy donation this is how it's done ... :-)

I should have taken a video of the busker I saw playing a chapman stick on the tube! Man he was good

Outstanding use of string bass, washboards and acting dog.....

Reminds me of The Gutter Bros- the loudest skiffle band in the world. Off to google them now and look out for their cover of Kiss

Yay! They are still going. This is old and they cut off the ending but....

The buskers are from Southampton (that's certainly the Southampton branch of BHS, anyway).

What a shame that on the same weekend, Ant and Dec's "supercomputer" was situated about 300 yards away, drew a crowd of 100's and seemingly made people act like complete retards just to get on tele and win a trip to NYC.

No justice....

These guys are based in the South of England too - The Borderlines.  I've seen them a few times in Southampton - the fella playing bass is Paul Lambourne who used to be in Demented Are Go!

I was that impressed, I managed to get them to play our local bikers club.  Not my footage, so the sound quality isn't great, but you get the idea.

Cool geezer in the Hague last week. I just wish I'd started filming earlier, he was excellent

I've seen him! South Ken station I think? He IS really good.

There's a guy who plays Floyd covers in Guildford to backing tracks - whether he bought them, blagged them, or made his own I don't know, but he handles a guitar so well that it wouldn't surprise me if the backing tracks were his own work.
