Ely’s buskers need to expand their repertoire - they would be a bit more entertaining
IN response to Jeremy Friend-Smith’s letter of August 16, it’s not so much the accordion music which is causing the problem - it’s the lack of the selection of music.
Take, for example, the Romanian gentleman who parks himself in the Cloisters Arch - he has been dubbed locally as “Mr ‘I only know one tune’” - a bit of an underestimation, he knows several.
The problem is that he plays the same stuff, day in, day out, for hours at a time and frankly after a while, it becomes downright annoying.
I have stood round the corner helping at one of the kiosks, sometimes for two to three hours a day, and after an hour or so of the same stuff going round and round, you can’t think straight.
I can understand how some of the shopkeepers down there feel, especially Card Factory, Dorothy Perkins, the Sue Ryder Shop and those poor kiosk owners.
You may also want to watch:
It wouldn’t be so bad if the buskers as a whole expanded their repertoire a little. It would make it much less monotonous and a bit more entertaining.
