Shame they didn't follow up on Errol Linton - a very talented harmonica player. Regularly features on BBC Radio 2's Blues show. If you like that sort of stuff have a search on RUclips for him
12:16 _We knew there was a very clever man down there with a didgeridoo_ 😂 And then she said I wonder how a man from Portsmouth got into playing the didgeridoo. *With his mums hoover tube, but he didn't tell you that did he love!* 😂
I can remember a few years back being on a train bound for Heathrow Airport. The train made a station stop and either three or four guys jumped aboard the train and started playing jazz music, they were brilliant. They played till the next station stop and got off, I guess that was to avoid officials.
Had a similar experience in Toronto last year, guy got on the train at St Clair with a speaker and an accordion, and played lively music all the way to Bloor, when he finished his performance, everyone on the train clapped, I tipped him the equivalent of 4 quid
The programme will have been made to be broadcast to TV, on CRT screens with a relatively low resolution. Likely the wider shots the logo wasn’t legible on those screens back in the day but they were in the closer shots so they blurred it then. Now it’s been digitised and we use higher resolution screens, it’s really visible to us.
We are on holiday in the UK currently (October 2024) Walked past a couple of these pitches. It's great! You can hear them throughout the station. Really improves the atmosphere on the Underground!
The underground is a pretty depressing place, after literally a day or two you will start to hate it, the heat, the crowds, and these buskers are not so common.
From the Wikipedia page, looks like this was a special that originally aired just after season 1. Looks like season 3 aired in late 2005, with another 6 episodes, plus another pair of special episodes that aired just before season 3 about the 7/7 bombings.
This is DEFINITELY different in SO many ways to the buskers I've seen in the past - dirty, disheveled, with flea and lice infested hair, barefoot with filthy dirty feet and overgrown hooks for toenails, 20 year old muck and nasal mucous under their fingernails and then they fix their eyes on you and your every movement and glare right through you as if you are possessed.
When the husband came home late from work, she thought he was maybe shagging someone, so out of anger gave his dinner to the dog. Went out and left a note on the fridge ' your dinners in the dog'
Well normally you pocket the 50ps, £1 and £2 coins and only leave the shrapnel out so people feel inclined to give you more. Not always, but I know some people play it that way.
I wonder who they have to sleep with to get the best pitches. I know in my town many a fight happens between people begging and busking and trying to lay claim to pitches.
The single flutes & esp violones are just annoying in the long run.. But the didgeridoo guy Steven is great! How are those native american flute players everywhere either in groups or alone? They were at least all over europe at one point..
So, begging is illegal on the tube, but legalised begging (Technically what busking is), is okay)? No, begging is begging. I won't give to any beggers, buskers included.
Busking isn't begging. They're providing free music to the public and accept tips but don't solicit. Shame you have such a nasty outlook on a very honest way to make a bit of money.
I can tell you the didgeridoo is not the fairest instrument. The fact that non-aboriginals and women cannot play the instrument in nomadic aboriginal traditions goes to show that no one race is perfect. Just my two cents, and something to think about.
maybe the ladies should open their blouse just a little bit more….like the lady singer angelina….that will attract the guys more than the music….and as everybody knows…..sex sells
21:10 “this isn’t someone playing the didgeridoo, this is someone PLAYING the didgeridoo!”
Katie Jenkinson pure class 👍
This scheme is still in use to this day. As of 2021.
Thank you, was looking for a comment like this
It's a great idea!
UK: "Busking is a safety risk"
NYC: "Fight the rats for a good spot"
Dude, that harmonica, man.

I will
I always tip buskers. They’re desperate for money and worked hard to get the permit they needed to even start busking!
Jasmine Johnston only the good ones!
Only the ones that aren’t dross
Nah, get a fucking job, if someone like me who's a dignosed schizophrenic and 55% burned can work a normal life, so can they.
@@Mr_Makina Not always desperate, often just an enjoyable way to make a bit more cash :)
@@Mr_Makina That is their job.

16:28 the iMac G3 lol shows how old this show is
@@wesleyweih112 ohhh no, 2003!
Yeah it’s old. Throwback for young tech nerds
Where's bob Marley impersonator. I would give him a license
i would not ;)
If I understood his name right (Errol Linton), then he is doing allright, search for "Errol Linton Boom Boom" for example.
@@MazeFrame that's not the bob marley impersonator
That black conductor has shot him in a field
I’m a year late but, 5:27 ;)
I don't understand! They blur the CarlingLIVE logo half the time and the other we can see it clearly! Do they want to blur it or not?!
Alright, calm down the world's still turning.
They company only paid them half the money

5:45 wasn’t that harmonica piece in railroad tycoon 3?
hahaha damn close to it i think
Could be Dixieland Train or Harp How-Down
Lol
have heard some amazing buskers on the tube...
I love how in a lot of the Canary Wharf scenes you can just hear the 96 stock in the background
That motor sound never gets old
choo choo I love this show. :D
That didgeridoo guy is great as its real difficult to learn to play it
I love music! I play the Violin, Piano, Guitar and now learning Ukulele in school.
Ok
i yhink i only saw ONE train out of the full episode at that was here ---> 0:50
beau emmerson u did here train NOISES didn’t u
Its a fake underground man did you not know that?
great to see people without phones constantly in their hands, good times
Ok boomer.
Nobody talked to anybody else anyway. The only difference is people aren't so bored because they have phones
Freakung LOVE serious buskers!
!It never works well sometimes it works, most of the time it works" Have a word love!
This is how I want to spend my days after I retire.
oh how wonderful! I hope I get to spend some time in London and take the tube for commute..
Manoj Patankar this is like wishing death upon yourself

21:05 😂😂😂
lol legend
The bloke on the didgeridoo played very well!
21:18 he looks about as docile as Boris Johnson
Adam Games I was thinking the exact same lol
Generally thought the last episode was the last!
there's another season i think
From the Wikipedia page, looks like this was a special that originally aired just after season 1. Looks like season 3 aired in late 2005, with another 6 episodes, plus another pair of special episodes that aired just before season 3 about the 7/7 bombings.
The Wikipedia page also states that this episode was originally broadcast in February 2003 but the episode itself (claims to be) set in "Summer 2003".
This week on Busking With The Stars.
This is DEFINITELY different in SO many ways to the buskers I've seen in the past - dirty, disheveled, with flea and lice infested hair, barefoot with filthy dirty feet and overgrown hooks for toenails, 20 year old muck and nasal mucous under their fingernails and then they fix their eyes on you and your every movement and glare right through you as if you are possessed.
Is it still "busking" if you have to jump through official hoops?
Popular busking place in Vancouver: Waterfront SeaBus terminal
COMIC SANS!!!
John is 45!?!?!?!?!? Tough paper round.
My brudda looks about 75 😭😭
Dude must smoke felt-tip pens to be looking like that at 45, christ...
I like the digeridoo. :-)
Cool

The next thing you know, they'll all have cash registers and they'll be handing you receipts. :)
sarcasm is the lowest form of wit
Border Reiver is it really?
Border Reiver Oscar Wilde 🤗
And the busking scene will survive through a cashless society. :)
After that, they start to accept contactless...
He was really mean towards the violin player.
I feel bad for that guy with the recorder that people didn't leave money for him :(
I'm not very surprised. He'd've given them all a splitting headache.
Summer 03??
Yes, the programme ran between 2002-06.
This show is so old now.
most entertaining!
Good people
The British currency is interesting
There are beggars and buskers operating aboard this train please do not encourage there presence by supporting them (I swear I heard this somewhere)
45 years old??? And the rest.
Haha

Doesn't Nettie remind you of Sara Gilbert from Roseanne.
Neat.
I give that episode two 👍 👇
Why?
your dinner is in the dog? when was this a saying?
When the husband came home late from work, she thought he was maybe shagging someone, so out of anger gave his dinner to the dog. Went out and left a note on the fridge ' your dinners in the dog'
15.06 thats not £8. my guy had the coppers.

I wonder who they have to sleep with to get the best pitches. I know in my town many a fight happens between people begging and busking and trying to lay claim to pitches.
Once they have a license, they book a 2 hour slot at a specified spot on a specified station.
The single flutes & esp violones are just annoying in the long run.. But the didgeridoo guy Steven is great!
How are those native american flute players everywhere either in groups or alone? They were at least all over europe at one point..
Did I hear the minutemen radio
Classical, rock, metal, doom metal, black metal, death metal, atmospheric metal, symphonic metal, doom metal, gothic metal, gothic rock........
1:46 bring Simon Cowell instead
What “they say” may not be true lolz

The London underground has always been the unofficial home for those not talented enough for x-factor
I'd rather listen to the recorder lad all day int tube than watch X-Factor, can't lie...
Loved the opera singer. Can't stand the recorder.
I don't even consider the recorder a musical instrument.
@@giuseppenero110 Sorry bud, its an instrument. And a bloody good one.
7:57 did that narrator say the b word?
It sounds like ‘bitches’ but he is supposed to say ‘pitches’
K
3:04 that's clearly a green screen
They blurred out the background behind him because it had logos on
@@battytec Lmao you can see the logo like 3 seconds before during the interview in the back clear as day
