A band tried giving Noel a CD during a set in Boston.

Noel Gallagher gets security pass it up to him, takes a look, then belittles the band.

In case you can’t see that image, he’s says, looking at a blank CD, “There’s not even a f$*%ing name of who it is, or what it’s called, or a phone number, or nothing“, while the crowd laughs.

If you don’t know who he is, Noel Gallagher was songwriter and lead guitarist for the (possibly soon to reunite) self-aggrandising and grumpy band Oasis.

Noel asks the band what their name are. “‘The Memo’? Do you f#$%ing get the irony of that? A CD with nothing written on it by somebody called The Memo”.

The point: this is exactly what street performers do the whole time, performing to massive audiences with nothing to signify who they are.

We may have the answer to that. If you want an easy way to show people who you are, how to get in touch, where to buy your music and how to hire you for gigs, you can do so with just one URL.

So, Sign up on The Busking Project, and make yourself a sign.

Beat of the Street

New Team Members!

Okay, that’s not quite “beat of the street” (i.e. “political”) news, but it is amazing. Finally, a bunch of people who aren’t me, talking to you. 2 buskers (one our communications person, one a mixed-media editor) and 2 writers. Woohoo!

Oxford Backs Down

Liberty argued a public space protection order (PSPO) proposed was unlawful and would ‘criminalise homeless people and buskers.’” And “Liberty lawyers Jason Coppel QC and Deok Joo Rhee claimed the proposed PSPO was unlawful on a number of human rights and common law grounds.” Thanks go to the Keep Streets Live team for their efforts!

Jeffrey has built a full 30-minute contact juggling show. Any “skill based” show can get boring and/or disconnected if done wrong. Contact jugglers don’t do comedy. Comedy breaks the magic. Jeffrey found a way. Watch his performance here!
