You Get a Better Class of Busker in St. Paul’s Tube Station

May 11, 2012 8:26 pm

I took this picture tonight, on the mezzanine floor between the escalators at St.Paul’s Tube Station.

A Busker with a Celtic Harp

I would have thought that usually those playing a harp, were well above the cathedral, rather than underneath it!

I hope I got the type of harp right!

  1. Am I still the only one who rates buskers as a Class A nuisance?

    1. Times change!On the Underground, they’ll all licensed and booked for particular pitches. I think they have to go through an audition too. Celia was once disturbed by a bagpiper outside her office with one tune for days on end. Now that is a real Class A nuisance!

  2. I bet it was lovely and soothing for travellers.

    1. It was! But I was in rather a hurry, so didn’t stop long. A lot of buskers in the Underground are pretty good and soothing. It’s rather nice to hear some nice acoustic music wafting around the passageways.

    1. Feel free to copy the picture for your own purposes.

      A friend’s daughter, is learning the harp and I sent her an e-mail saying what she could do if she fails her studies learning languages at Cambridge. Although, there’s not really much chance of that! So you won’t have cometition from that area. Best of luck!

  4. Thanks for this, in all seriousness, when she qualifies at Cambridge she should continue to play harp and occasionally perhaps go busking as well.
