Owen Woodson Dublin sets buskers minimum standards (14) RE: Dublin sets buskers minimum standards 11 Aug 12


Lucky old Dublin. Here in Liverpool the city council has just introduced a regulation requiring buskers to pay £20 for a permit and £100 public liability insurance a year. This includes anyone legitimately busking for charity.

To make things worse they've strictly regulated the numbers of playing locations and times. Effectively, the aim is to drive busking out of existence.

Strange, considering that I've never seen a busker who in any way, shape or form constituted a public nuisance. Yes, I know some of them play too damned loud, but there's laws already in existence to deal with that. And there's nothing about excessive volume in the new regulations.
