The lad on the left looks like someone's Da who was drafted in to make up the numbers.

I never can fathom when I pass through Temple Bar or Grafton St how tourists find shite buskers so alluring. Spanish and Italians in particular seem to be mesmerised by any old shite and will record a 5 minute video of someone wanking over Coldplay or doing that dodgy beatboxing or non-facemelting riffs. Who the hell is the video intended for? Their worse enemy? Their poor neighbours back home that will never get to sample the dubious delights of the sounds of Irlanda? People are mental and have no ears.

By the way I am surprised that nobody has ever released a song called Mannix 2000.

One living statue is bad...this many is taking the fucking piss

But in saying that it'd be a good way to sabotage those dancers

Why would you take a photo of that? Is that one of them sand dogs or is he real?

 

[pete]

how do they decide who gets to sit?

 

[travispickle]

That's exactly what I was thinking of!

The worst busker in Dublin is a gypsy woman who sits at the corner of Abbey St with an accordion which she can't play AT ALL. She's been hanging around there for so long you think she'd have learned the thing by osmosis, but no

There was a lad in Swords who played freestyle tin whistle.

There's a bagpipe player who stands opposite the Stephen's Green Luas stop at RCSI and bugs the fuck out of the people waiting for the tram. I wonder is he the same lad who practices the bagpipes in Merrion Square?

Did anyone here ever busk? I did once or twice in the 90s with my mate. He was good on the acoustic, I was shite.

I used to busk all the time..made mad scratch doing it.

Gargle money galore

I attempted it a couple of times in Galway, didn't turn out too well. I got shouted at by a dreadlocked Aussie cos she couldn't hear her didgeridoo.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I think maybe twice, with a mate who couldn't really put two chords together at the time. I wasn't mad for it really, i'm too nervous a person.

I ended up playing a stereophonics song for some drunk who didn't even give me any money. PRICK.

 

[travispickle]

I did once in Dublin city centre with a mate of mine. Lost my voice after about an hour!

 

[Hector Grey]

As I always say, if you need a mic, don't fucking busk. No needs to hear you wetting the bed all over Grafton Street. Cunts do me nut.

I used to busk a load back in my dole days, you get good bang for the buck at nighttime when everyone's pissed and their pockets are full of change

Woulda been a right way to meet chicks too, if I had been single

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I busked a little in the 90s, mostly in France. I tried a few times in Limerick but it was not a success. I was shite anyway and it was a terrible thing to do.

Jazes, I think I might do a bit this summer.

Drive around in me van, busking for diesel money! Pretty sweet
