Busking history


In 2007 I started collecting for British Heart Foundation, busking in the town centre in St Albans, sometimes on guitar and other times on sax. I have also had some help from musicians who go along to the monthly jazz jam at the Portland Arms and these "jazz busker" sessions have been a great success. Other times I have joined John Breeze in supporting Leukemia Busters. Most Saturday afternoons and some Sundays there is a busk in French Row or by the clock tower. Check out Simmons bakers for drinks and buns with tables and chairs outside to watch the world go by and hear live music for free.

Carol Toner's photo project


John Breeze and Chris Flegg hard at work in French Row, pictured by Carol Toner as part of her photographic studies project. The green guitar is very green and shiny still, give it a few more rain showers and dabs of ketchup and it will do fine for busking, till then it's "you're not using a nice Gibson for busking are you?" every 10 minutes or so.
