The long awaited reappearance of the sun has heralded the return of something equally brilliant – Bandstand Busking. Such a great idea, a group of amazing folk making the most of our fair city’s tragically abandoned bandstands by putting on afternoons of free music with an excellent lineup every single time. As if that weren’t enough, everything gets filmed and streamed right here for the world to enjoy. Amazing. Last Sunday was the first Bandstand Busking of the year, which included Liz Green who’s long been a favourite of mine. Alas I didn’t get a chance to catch her, but it prompted me to have a little search for a nice example of why she is quite so completely amazing. So here it is, complete with a bit of an unplanned David Thomas Broughton-esque ending. Check out www.bandstandbusking.com for all the latest busk announcements, there’s no finer way to spend a sunny afternoon.
