In this supposed recession the standard of buskers has seriously dipped. Dishevelled chap playing a cornet (not the expected go-to instrument for a street performer), who presented a lolly to anyone who tossed a few coins in his hat (an ice cream punnet)
Well it's a step up from the living statue!
There is also an Albanian Father & son duo that performs versions of popular show tunes and 1980's hits on an accordion and melodica (blow-piano). There was another, again Father & son from the Southeast of Europe (the Balkans region), who I haven't seen for some time who busked in a similar way but playing a cheap keyboard and out of tune violin. I suppose needs must and you use any talent you have; I don't think I have any talent suitable for busking. That rules out another option if (when) nursing goes tits up!
