[weechampion]

pudding bowl! ha

[LaurelVentura]

That's not busking! That's an epic gig in my book!!

[RobertBeowulf]

Im always in town, never when something like this happens!

[Willyb0bs]

Shame they weren't on market street :( Also, does anyone know who that busker who sings really bad covers of bruno mars songs, has spiky hair, looks like he walked out of a jd sports and topman catalogue is called? He's usually right in the middle of market street outside urban outfitters.

[adrianbrandwood]

Its King Street not market st

[lordy75]

more bizarre is why would they do fools gold?????? er the roses did that

[nelsonr32]

If I saw this in my high street i'd drop dead. Yet there's loads of people walking past as if it's just another load of buskers! It's the charlies for fook sake!!

[brighton59]

Top stuff, cheers

[ianbrownshairdo]

Wish they'd done Fool Gold.

[DJR1968]

@ianbrownshairdo why? so you could hear it sung in tune for once?

[sherbert500]

fucking love that tune

[XxTalentzxX]

fook how did i miss this on market street :O class

[servetakid]

did he give that guy his number!?!?!

[sbwilks100]

I really can't believe my favourite band in the world were busking in my home town on my birthday and I had no idea until now! I was even in work in Manc that day. That would've been the best birthday present ever!

[nicknick1974]

its very white stripish... theyve been known to do this... love the charlatans

[GsuZonAciD]

good stuff... wrong place to be playing though> everyone knows market street is where its at;

These guys are playing near M&S on the street where harvey nichols and louis vitton is (near st.annes square)> basically where all the posh/rich/football tards shop :P

[cc1873cc]

this is class

brilliant stuff

[hipshakejunkie]

why wasnt i out doing a bit of shopping that day!?

[ChorltonM21]

Sound too big to have been played through a few poxy busking amps and the drums sound massive? Market St must have great acoustics!

[hindleyite]

I like how a crowd slowly gathered. :)

[indiepolo]

Maybe someone else will know

[indiepolo]

what is the model of the keyboard?

[DJR1968]

what a bizarre question. how should i know the model of the keyboard?

[johmurr]

Fuckin nice keyboard though. Id love to know the answer. Just coz you dont like keyboards. Are you keyboardist

[benno25]

@DJR1968 come on that's easy....it's a Fisher-Price model number 3759266445xlr - hahahaha

[hoefinerden]

@indiepolo looks like he's got a lap top hooked up in the background. probably the source for the killer keyboard sound. the keyboard itself could be anything with midi really.

[saborranchero]

@indiepolo It's a CPL 593H

[Scaredbusiness]

@indiepolo kord x50?

[Scaredbusiness]

@indiepolo korg x50?

[DJR1968]

throwing money in the case was kinda the point. they were busking for charity

[icbrkr]

Ah apologies.. busking isn't a word that's in common usage around here ;)

The keyboard is an M-Audio ... pretty basic, just a MIDI keyboard hooked to a Macbook (somewhere hidden obviously).

[icbrkr]

Did you see that dude throw money into the guitar case? Hilarious.

[exert2020]

love you guys
