The performer was unlicensed and the Montreal police wanted to "talk to him in private." Not handled very well!

I fixed the dead one with a clip that shows all three songs he sang with the busker.

The River begins at 2:10

I could have used tubechop.com to isolate just the River part, but I thought it was more fun to have all three songs in one clip.

If anyone has a problem with this approach, let me know and I'll tubechop this down to the original vid.

I say not an abomination. What he's doing with the hand he's freed up isn't easy. And it allows multiple non-standard tunings on the fly without having to change guitars or spend time retuning just for the sake of one song. Great for buskers or for people who don't have the time to retune their guitar in the studio!

Besides - the pretty music, it sound nice.

FYI, this is not a concert - stop calling it poetic justice.
That video was made in Covent Garden (London, UK), where during weekend various buskers show off their skills and get (quite) a few quids from tourists.
That very spot shown in the vid is known to have musicians on violins, it's been like this for years. It is however, NOT a concert. The tables and chairs are part of a coffee shop, and just like any other coffee shops people are free to chat and talk on the phone as they please.
So, not a concert. Guy was well in his rights to chat on the phone.


Indeed, if anything the buskers should've been thrown out.

Myspace: Coming together in the streets of Glasgow, King Arthur's Men was formed by three students at that time enrolled in the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama studying varying types of Music and coming from all different parts of the world. The band now consists of four musicians, acting almost as a collective. Alastair Caplin, on Fiddle and Percussion, is a full time musician and plays with other bands such as Alastair Roberts, and the John Langan Band. Alastair hails from the Isle of Lewis. Bryan Benner, our vocalist and guitarist (and on percussion) is currently studying for his BMus in Vocal Studies, while also playing full time with King Arthur's Men (unless he's off gallivanting across America..). Bryan grew up in America in Florida and California. Hazen Metro is on the BA - Scottish Music, Piping course and is studying Scotland's vast traditions and music with a focus on the highland bagpipe. Hazen grew up in the small North-Eastern, mountainous state of Vermont. Our final and newest member is John Langan, who is also a full time musician, playing gigs with The John Langan Band and being Glasgow's most rocking busker. John plays Guitar and Percussion with us, bringing styles ranging from Klezmer to Scottish Folk.
Combined we are King Arthur's Men, a truly powerful and eclectic collective.
