    A legend in the history of buskers has died.

    See the story here

    This dude was a true legend and if you've ever been into the centre of Nottingham you've probably seen him.

    He died? I haven't been into town for far too long, but he always put a smile on my face when I heard the tuneless tunes he played.

    Dude, this is so shocking its really unbelievable, its someone who youve never really met, but see everytime you go to town that brings a smile to your face, and now, knowing that he'll never be there again saddens me greatly.
    I can't remember one day in town not seeing him , ican't rmemeber him not being there, hes been there for far too long.

    Hes around most nights, i usually see him on thursdays when im out in town, he totally rocks the socks and supposedly has an album in one for the music stores in notts, ive heard of people finding it but i have yet to come across it.

    How come everyone has heard him, but no one has realised that he used to play the glockenspiel not xylophone. :confused: :confused:

    Did he sit there every day, because I can't remember a time where he wasn't there when I was in Nottingham?
