Buskers, Street Entertainers in Chatham, Kent*

Places to find public entertainment

You can tell us more about Chatham.

• New Road Hookers
• Billy - "Gis' a quid mate", to be honest walking through the high street is somewhat mildly amusing due to the sheer number of freaks and drunks. It's like come sort of deranged circus from the depths of hell.
• Pete the 'Flying' Cleggett Stuntman
• lol, three words...Billy the Quid.
• Billy the Quid, alas has just got an ABSO :( What's sadder is finding out his real name wasn't Billy.
• Oi, my mum's one of those happy clappy Christians! Apart from that, there's one guy who always used to be on the High Street with a Great Dane in a straw hat. My mum, as a happy clappy Christian, made friends with him. He was fun.
• That old man who shoots BB pellets at the chavs in the Blue Bell quarry.
• Billy the skank, with his infamous catchphrase 'spare us a pound bruv?'
• BILLY! He'll come up to you and shake your hand and ask for 50p. Ask him for a pound back, it confuses him.
• ALMOST EVRYONE IN CHATHAM IS A CHARACTER.
• You’re likely to meet Bill, the local heroin addict if you hang around the high street or Kebab Express for long enough. You can recognise high by his pale completion and tenancy to say things like “Have you got two quid mate? A pound? 50p? Oh please mate!?”
• Of course, there's always Billy. Hangs around underneath the New Road bridge with his fingerless gloves asking for a couple of quid. Don't give it him, though, because he'll only use it to buy more gloves.
• Maybe it isnt fair to class Mad Lil as a street entertainer but we found her amusing as children. She dresses up in strange flowing skirts and paints her face really white and walks down the middle of the road shouting at nothing. Care in the community I suppose. Last I heard shed got better.
• Bill- he is a coloured dude wanders around chatham introducing himself to people (normally kids around 15-18) shaking your hand, asking for a pound and he kinda smells please avoid him... oh he sits around on the floor asking for money but he aint homeless :S funny to laugh at though
• The Indian guy that strolls along the high street asking for 50p. Beware, upon giving him 50p, his price goes up. He can often be seen entering Shoppers Pride Amusements The strange guy with the panpipes that he never seems to actually be playing (is it really just a recording?) The old couple promoting Jesus seem to be regular entertainment too
• Not so many nowadays, as the Old Bill clamped down a few years back.
• Scag head who begs yo for money
• High Street, think there the nicest thing on the highstreet, nothing else to spend ur money on
• Wolf's Head Morris are now looking for Male members for the 2002/3 season of Festivals. If you enjoy drinking, dancing, dressing up and falling down (a bit like Princess Margaret in Mustique...)contact us; www.hugin.demon.co.uk/wolfshead/index.html
• Willy and his amazing one man band. This guy is great, appears every now and then churning out his golden oldies, drum, tamborine, harmonica and any other instrument he can find to strap to himself. also i hear he has got a new guitar-finally.
• The pissheads on the bench outside the Chip Shop on the High Street are fairly entertaining
• There's a group of illegal immigrants from Peru or somewhere like that who turn up in the High Street every now and then making a racket on their pan pipes!!
• Happy-Clappy Christians are fairly regular, as are the Survey Dollies
