| Gibbo |
Bet they got beaten up by the tramp with the cardboard guitar for muscling in on his turf | ||||
| EmmersoN |
It went really well actually...
THE BEST OF BUSKING '06 |
||||
| Louis |

| EmmersoN |
They went to quite a few places: church st. (twice), williamson sq, mathew st (or somewhere near there - for about 5 minutes!), and bold street.... on williamson sq there were by sayers, on church st they were just a bit futher down from hmv but before mc donalds and on bold street they were by that american dinner place (eddie rocket's? or something). | ||||
| Louis |

| EmmersoN |

Busking was loads of fun. We are going to rub and do it about twice a month. We are also going to get some sort of sign that says "major major" otherwise people won't know who we are | ||||
| Louis |
it looked like you were having fun, did you do any other covers apart from town called malice? | ||||
| Liam, Major Major drummer |
did you give out demos? | ||||
| James |
I was about to suggest next time have a box of free demo's next to the money pot - if people are takin a CD, they'll be more willin to give some/ There were a bunch of indians playin music in town that did this today, they made loads. They were Indians though | ||||
| Gibbo |
It sounded good guys! Does anyone know if you have to pay to set up on that round raised thingy at the bottom of Church Street? If there's anything on there everyone stops to look and if you're giving away free stuff they'd you'd get loads of publicity. You could get the whole band down there and play. | ||||
| James |
For doin anythin around town you're supposed to have a permit and I think you have to book to do do somet around there. But whatever is on there gets loads if publicity |
||||
| Conor Major Major |
We did have loads of fun doing it. And the covers we did were Town Called Malice High and Dry I'm my own grandpa Never Never |
||||
| EmmersoN |
and I will! |
||||
| Conor Major Major |
Yeah I will aswell (that sounds funny) | ||||
| Conor Major Major |
We will be busking tomorrow on church street (and surrounding areas) from 11am to 1:30pm ish. Come and say hello if you are in town | ||||
| jamie |
i'll rub and scout you out on my dinner. | ||||
| Liam, Major Major drummer |
will that be your dinner from uni or work? i have just realised i have no idea what you do for a living. | ||||
| Conor Major Major |
He works in Slater Menswear | ||||
| jamie |
it's soul-crushingly soul-crushing. especially when i turned to one of the girls i work with and said 'you know what, all the men that work here are really camp. is it like a requirement...oh, wait. shit.' | ||||
| Gibbo |
Do you guys have a busking license by the way? | ||||
| EmmersoN |
No, but no one really cares |
||||
| Dave |
The Metropolitan Rapid-Response Anti-Busking Unit does
|
||||
| EmmersoN |
Haha Thats great! Well yer of course you have to look out for them! But fortunately they're not exactly low visability! | ||||
| Gibbo |
I got a busking license today, it's awesome. So many rules to follow though, like if you play bagpipes there's special rules whereby you can't actually play for as long as other instruments because they're hellishly noisy | ||||
| Tracey |
if you're bein serious...why the hell do u want/need a busking license??!!!
if ur joking...hahahahahaha!!! |
||||
| Gibbo |
No absolutely serious, this time next week I will be legally entitled to busk in the county of Oxfordshire. What can I say? It's free to get a license and looks cool. | ||||
| Dave |
It's also free not to get a license and it looks even cooler because they'll be flouting the strict rules and bylaws of buskdom | ||||
