Apparently London Underground are licensing buskers for a trial period. You will be able to phone up and book a pitch at selected stations. The number to phone is 0845 330 9880, Monday -Friday 9:00-17:00. |

24 May 03 - 06:25 AM (#958596) Subject: RE: Busking on London Underground From: Bernard No point in licensing THINKING, though... not enough people do it to make it worthwhile! Licensing buskers is possibly a good idea, but auditioning is far too subjective... just because I don't like the way one person sings deosn't necessarily mean that they are bad... I wonder what criteria 'they' intend to apply, and how?! Whilst we're at it, Orc, never underestimate the Power of the Morris! One carefully calculated jingle of my bells, and you will be sent to a place where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth (and those who have no teeth will gnash their gums!)... |

He'll probably be on the District or Central lines... no foreign coins please, but shirt buttons we can always use. LTS |
