Birmingham buskers

Buskers were few, far between and of dubious quality when we were in town this week. Mostly lone trumpeters, deprived of a backing track by the City authorities attitude towards amps. The guys scuttled through their scales, tunelessly.
The City offers restrictive licences to buskers, insists on limiting playing to a few locations, but seemed happy enough for the delightful Passenger to play in his roped-off little area last May.
