Highly entertaining street entertainers

[Evoluzione]

Ones that you really do want to give money to.

When I lived in Cardiff there was an old gent who used to perform in the city centre known as toy mic Trevor.

I have seen him - he is plainly not right.

I wouldn't normally be a fan of street entertainers and certainly not banjo players, but I heard a guy called Morgan O'Kane playing in Central Park one day and it was just so raw and intense I just had to stop and listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1l5BM31llg&li...

Any one who's visited Falmouth over the last couple of years would have seen Lee:

Walks a fair distance into town each day, various outfits, always raises a smile & has plenty in his pot.

Shame some lowlifes stole his stereo recently though.

It's good to see him with sensible length shorts on for a change

The standard of street "entertainment" has plummeted in Liverpool lately.

We are now subject to about 4 people who have painted themselves gold/white/silver and stand there handing lollipops to kids in exchange for money. There's a guy in an awful mickey mouse style costume that we have nicknamed "horror mickey" since it looks like something out of a horror film. He makes balloons for £1. Noticed recently than another identical Horror Mickey has appeared too.

Then there is a guy who has two different sites set up with a sand model of a dog. Exactly the same every day. Also got the standard "predator" costume guy - photos for £1.

I saw a guy playing a snare drum the other day. Not really musical, was just hitting it. Saw a couple of guys "dancing" to music whilst wearing those cardboard masks of celebs. Awful

Occasionally there are some good street musicians, but they seem to have been forced out of the main areas by these useless clowns.

Not his finest moment, but I can only imagine what its is like having to listen to him constantly.

That is fantastic, nice share.

As for Dub FX, he's a true talent, love his work. There's a youtube video of him somewhere with another beatboxer at a Google corporate event which is brilliant, will try to find it

EDIT; My bad, wasn't Dub FX at all.

Check these guys out:
