Those pan pipe guys get about a bit don't they? I'm always seeing them in Windsor and Bracknell shopping areas. They seem to have the right facial features and I think I spotted a tiple in there as well, but how authentic they are I know not, I couldn't bear to stop and listen.
Perhaps there's a S.American version of Popstars turning them out by the dozen and shipping them over here on the same planes as the Colombian pickpockets who are alleged to come over for the tourist season.
And don't get me started on the amplified autoharpist who plays muzak in Bracknell....
RtS (but I enjoyed the lefthanded Dylanesque busker in an alley near Hereford Cathedral last week,he must have been there for at least four hours.)
