Who wants to do a bit of busking?! - Page 2

I wonder if any marching bands will be taking part. Might be a good day to hold a town centre protest against the closure of the toilets

You could combine it with one against the empty shops Dave. I see the shutters are still up outside the regency.

They were doing surveys on it last week which presumably means it's for a new buyer or to go on the market

i may be wrong here but wernt all the regualr buskers told to sod off from accy center at one point and now were organising competions encouraging them to come here.Buskers would come for free if allowed .

i know a lad who used to juggle and perform street entertainment near the arndale entrance who was told not to come back and i recall a man who played the flute with his dog by his side and also a few other performers with violins and guitars.They never got in anyones face but if people wanted to throw somthing in their pot or cap they could oblige.

i suppose my question is after this has happened will street entertainers be allowed back or will they have to wait for an invite from whatever the job title is that organises these things?

Buskers on every street corner for Accrington celebration day (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Like the part in the report saying -

"Performances will also be rotated, so each will feature in prime positions, such as Broadway and the entrance to Accrington Market Hall"

The market hall isnt a prime position, every-one runs in there to use the loo's they havnt got time to watch buskers!!!!!

Accordion, strong voice and a few verses of 'Mary Hold The Candle While I Shave The Chicken's Leg'.

'When It's Summertime In Italy It's Wednesday Over Here'?

'There Was A Young Lady From Preston'?

I'll get me dog.....

I'd sing this.

But after the first verse substitute flowers for -

Market stalls.

Shoppers.

Arndale clocks.

Shops.

Toilets.
