…this story was on the radio earlier this morning and made me think of this thread…a busker from Northern Ireland has just busked his way into a world record……

Musician with broken thumb busks his way into record books…

A musician from Northern Ireland has broken the Guinness World Record for the longest busk.
Marty Rafferty, from County Armagh, performed for 24 hours on the trot, breaking the record just after midday on Thursday.
He began at midday on Wednesday and had planned to strum his last chord at 18:00 BST on Thursday but had to end his set at 15:00 due to a broken thumb and a fading voice.
When he broke the world record, he said he was "buzzing".
