Daily Constitutionalist David Moore, who
provided the wonderful shots of Battersea Power Station a few weeks ago (catch up with that post HERE) has been in touch to draw attention to a protest
in Camden Town. (It's very appropriate that David's email should arrive on Rock'n'Roll London Friday.) David writes…
“Just in case you miss
this. There was a musicians' demo in Camden yesterday lunchtime, protesting at
Camden Council's initiative to potentially kill off free music in Camden by
coming down hard on unlicensed buskers, and trying to predefine where, when and
what they can play. These three (ABOVE) were there to lend their support, rather than
play. The crowd in the background are watching the buskers, rather than the
celebs. I was too star-struck not to take a photo though.
Thought it might be of interest for your blog.”
Of interest indeed,
David, thanks for sharing.
The “these three” in David’s
pic are (L to R) comedian and musician Bill Bailey, singer, songwriter, poet, West Ham fan, legend and activist
Billy Bragg, and comedian and activist Mark Thomas.
If you support the buskers, you can make
your voice heard on change.org’s Don’t Banish The Buskers petition. Click HERE for more.
