Hi Marion,

I've seen a lot of buskers at Cologne. But also at Solingen, Wuppertal and Duesseldorf.
I would prefer a fiddle-playing girl rather than the panfluting people *eg*.
I've heard that Hannover should also be a good place but I don't know exactly. And - I'm sorry - can't help you with any non-smoking pubs.

Regards

Sabine
