Gordon, you could do worse than to look up the site of the Linz Festival, "Pflasterspektakel", which is held on the third weekend of July in Linz in Upper Austria. It is organised by the cultural department of the city government. When I knew it in its early days, back in the late eighties, it was a friendly, provincial festival, which was trying to attract the best buskers it could get. Now it hardly needs to advertise. Performers flock to it. They get accommodation, a daily allowance, which covers food and the chance to perform a couple of times a day in agreed spots. This has to be regulated, because there are so many performers around. It also helps the public to find the shows, which they most want to see. Linz Pflasterspektakel.
