"Leave him alone! He's trying to make some money, GO AWAY" the woman at 2:08 for CBB please.

[Mokka]

Busking is a legal profession... no one has proof he doesn't have a license

The sidewalk was big enough for this lady and others to go around even with a crowd of people

The store is obviously fully aware he is there...he is using their electricity and probably cut a deal with them.

His playing in front of the store makes people actually stop and notice the window display

If you don't like the music...the tone, sound or volume.... move on lady....the world is big enough

Like bitontheside said... many famous musicians started out this way

And what is the point of life without these small injections of art and culture to uplift us during our busy day.

Doesn't mean they were right just because they agreed.

You are an unsympathetic young man. Well one day you will be old too and for your sake let's hope society isn't filled with people of your mindset.

It certainly doesn't make her right just because she disagrees with them being there. People are far too miserable these days.

Would you still have that view if it was Nigel Farage standing outside a Job Centre singing 'Largo al factotum' in his wonderful Baritone voice?

Or Jeremy Corbyn busking outside Westminster Palace, singing 'Un bel di' from Madame Butterfly, in his wonderful Soprano voice?

[Shaun]

Nigel is out of a job, if he needs to pay the bills then let him sing

there was someone beatboxing down a kazoo into a microphone the other day and it was awFUL
they need to not

[Livia]

I was going to take the piss, but actually, he sings a lot better than I do.

The way the all pounced on her and got their kids to join in is disgusting though tbh...
Even though she shouldn't of done it in the first place (ngl I don't blame her), there's no need to act like yobs and white knights towards her at all

He sings so well because he has passion and means EVERY word.

I wonder why Corbyn sings the National Anthem in such a feeble voice?

[Babayaro.]

If it was too loud for her then maybe she could have ****ed off and walked away perhaps Nobody else seemed bothered about it

Also I would hardly say he was taking up the entire pavement. Good on him for trying to make money

I didn't see him begging?

At least he's giving people a reason to give him money unlike most who just expect it

I agree. Perhaps they'd prefer someone who 'clutters up the pavements' just long enough to just nick the old biddie's handbag and scarper with it ?

Beggars just SIT there VOCALLY begging. Buskers sing or play music or juggle, and deliver a service for which they welcome any donation from appreciative members of the public, but they do NOT beg.

I enjoy buskers - some of whom are excellent - but I do not enjoy being harrassed by beggars.

I sing with a passion but everyone tells me I'm tone deaf
