Was me who originally started this is 'Worst of Folk' category.Hmmmm - New York, Paris, London is all well and good but Bracknell, Coventry, Preston? Why do they want to go to these places? I guess being from the States (?) you aren't familiar with these places but believe you me so wouldn't want to go on a quest there. The other thing is that the same 2 or 3 men seem to have been playing in Coventry every day since I moved there last October!
I don't actually mind pan pipes that much when they're played well but this lot I see are awful! Just randomly blowing over the holes in a very arbitrary fashion.
Actually worse than pan pipes are steel drum bands playing non-steel drum music - aaarrgh. I was busking once and an steel band set up next to me and started playing 'You've lost that loving feeling.'
I'm quite a tolerant person really! Honest!
