Talked to Kev and Gary, solid musicians and long-time buskers (http://www.youtube.com/user/shackdusters).
Their Shackdusters blues sounded excellent.
‘Street music? It’s vital,’ says Kev. ‘I played everywhere, in bands, the lot, but playin’ the streets is the most important.’

Kev started in 1958 – ‘I used to hitch down from Preston to London and busk there. The money was good an’ all. Street music: it’s called to me all my life.’
There were a few young buskers around too, like this guy (left). I risked life, limb and street cred by joining Brassroots’ workshop. Didn’t have the nerve to solo with them.They played a hell of a set in the evening. Fantastic!
WOMAD? We love you.
