• We have quite a lot of loonies in Carmarthen - its the council's way of introducing them back into society - by making them live in Carmarthen! You get to know who they are after a while e.g. "Crazy Priory St. Lady".
• just look at the diversity
• There's a couple of buskers which I know of. One is sum guy with dreads who playes the guitar all the time and writes his own songs, he's really good aswell! Anmd they'res a guy who weras lots of bright clothes and always entertains children (aswell as the adults) with his array of brightley coloured balloon animals and music :)

• Oh that one that's always outside Marks And Spencers with all the balloons and the big black dog..he's cool! Plays all these instruments at the same time! Cool huh?!
• a whole host of , ahem, 'live entertainment' is available on the streets of carmarthen at the weekend.
• Outside Marks
• Oh me gawd there is this really cool man who is ALWAYS outside Marks & Spencers! He's dressed in all this wacky gear and has got a big dog with him! he plays strange instruments and does puppet shows and stuff. All I really know is that he is always there dressed in bright colours and takin up a fair amount of space! He also does funnt baloon things for the kids. He has been there for years and I think he is wicked! There are some other people there sometimes aswell on the corner by sweetmans.
• Don't forget the army of ponchoed panpipers with their hoooge PA system which allows no escape. In 1987, I saw someone set fire to the cardboard mat of a budding breakdancer with a ciggie lighter. He really was that bad. I wonder if he still remembers it and cringes inwardly. I think the name of the bloke from Hawkwind is Nik Turner, and he busks quite a bit in Cardiff, too.
• The Hippy Man with the puppets- Red St South American Band- Red St (only around for about 1 week every year)
• There's plenty of nutters wondering the streets that are pretty entertaining. They escape from St. Davids (Carmartheners will know what I mean)

• That hippy man and his foot operated puppets outside Be wise
