Bath's Buskers...

On any given weekend, you can be sure that there will be buskers on the streets of Bath. This guy is seemingly a permanent fixture...he is there, every day of the week, rain hail or shine, singing his (VERY) familiar Bob Marley songs..or at least, his version....




There are nearly always instrumentalists - currently we are enjoying the beautiful voice of a young girl who sings opera arias....sometimes jugglers, sometimes flamethrowers....


This is one of my favourites - haven't seen him for a while - maybe he will be back when the weather warms up...must be chilly standing still for so long...you can see how good he is....even the pigeons are convinced....



On Saturday, I spotted this guy...haven't seen him before but I was impressed...he played a mean fiddle which I would love to be able to do but whilst walking on a tightrope??




The Bob Marley gets a bit wearisome after a while but all these brave souls make shopping on a Saturday much more interesting....wishing you all a colourful week filled with interesting characters......s
