It’s not easy to gather a crowd when you’re a busker, but if you have Seal singing alongside you people tend to sit up and take notice.
It’s rare that a busker – or even two – get a chance to make it big, but thanks to one train commuter, Cape Town locals have a chance.
This is awesome. A busker in Berlin was caught on camera by a passer-by when he was playing ‘Smalltown Boy’ by Bronski Beat. Halfway through, a bald man and his dog approach him as the man begins to chime in. Surprisingly, he sings pretty well. The busker doesn’t seem too fazed by the whole ordeal, until he realises that the bald man just happens to be Bronski Beat’s legendary frontman, Jimmy Somerville.
We’re sad to present proof that the kinds of people who troll the comments section of News24 exist in real life. What we have here is a highly-educated, classicly trained, contemporaneously-trained New Yorker screaming at a street busker for being a “no talent, self-consumed, mediocre piece of shit.”
