Dublin is full of wanks, there are usually about four people pretending to be statues on Grafton Street, They're wanks the lot of them.
However outside McDonalds on my way home this evening I saw what can only be described as a fiesty 10 year old with an acoustic guitar singing "Where is My Mind" !! wtf

| Someone made a mistake of playing bagpipes outside a nightclub in Helsinki on Saturday night (22.30ish). Five police cars came to the rescue when the piper was attacked. |

| Bagpipe players should be attacked , they have only themselves to blame. |

The other day I saw a band of wee boys in Grafton Street. They were quite good! |

Haha, you should see the buskers in Aberdeen...
There's a guy who sits outside M&S and he is awful... sits with a keyboard and seems to sing the same song over and over and he is pretty out of tune... Its all miserable songs he sings aswell.
And a lot of homeless buskers... There's a guy who used to play his guitar outside Gap, grey hair, never shaved, used to love his version of Sweet Home Alabama and anytime I was down and walked past him playing that song, he would always get a few pennies out of my purse. Not seen him in ages tho, he seems to be replaced by someone else... |

| Big up to a local busker who I heard singing "there is a light that never goes out" cheering up shoppers outside M & S! Well he made me happy :) |

I've started busking. It's the best job I've ever had :)
It makes my Saturday nights- much much better than wasting money getting drunk and not remembering a thing :) |

Do you make a lot of money with it?
There are some buskers in Helsinki, one brave one was playing xylophone in -12 °C. |

Well it's the best-paid job i've ever had. Even at my lowest rate, I am still making about twice as much as some of my friends who have "real" jobs.
But when you get a good night, you can make a lot of money. And have a lot of fun doing it, more to the point! |

Well, you must be a good one, judging by your own songs and recordings you'll bring some quality to the busking scene. Your tallness can't be a hindrance, either. Do you play mainly your own songs or are covers more profitable? If you play covers, what do you play? |

Ahh, must be the same busker who sings Sweet Home Alabama... he makes me smile. The guy with the keyboard is awful, he sings all country and western, my wife left me for the milkman kinda tunes or if they're all about love,he couldn't sound anymore happy lol |

Well I'm a student. So most of my friends are students too- and are on jobs that pay 5 or 6 pounds an hour. It's not hard to beat that much on a Saturday night |
