Thread Name: Amplified buskers strike again
Subject: RE: Amplified buskers strike again
You have my sympathy. These idiots, who think that noise is a viable alternative to talent, have closed down more cities to buskers than all the police chiefs ever have. One of the problems of the itinerant aspect of busking, is that there is no body, which the cities can bargain with to establish reasonable codes of practice and compromise with. Done well, busking is an asset to any town. We just have to get across to aspiring buskers that doing it well does not mean the same as doing it louder. Good luck Muttley. I hope you can make sense prevail.
