Buskers, Street Entertainers

• SEXY LADIES....BENT OVER ME GIRL
• Snake ex-Tobruk died in December 2006. We now have a website with lots of stuff and info on the charity gig Snake wanted to set up that friends and family are going to do. http://www.shithappenz.co.uk/
• Kettering is full of crazy people who walk the streets talking to them selves or there on skag.
• ELVIS MAN. he rocks. MAD MEG. and her skooter. NATIVE AMERICAN PAN PIPES MAN. i like him. JESUS ARMY PEOPLE AND THEIR "JEBUS" hehe jebus.
• One man band with a dog that howls on cue to the music
• the man with the dog and radio-yes every1 in kettering knows who im on about, his house must be full of costumes, but i feel reli sorry for him!! he dresses up in elvis costumes and hula(over top of clothes) costumes, bit strange!!
• Old black guy in smart suit and cane who walks around whistling to himself... Bad whistler!

• Old man who dresses up as Elvis!!! he carries around a boom box!
• Elvis, bless him. Haven't seen him recently mind. His 'dealer' for outfits must be worried his days are numbered... (old mad bloke, staggers around on a mission clutching dog/billy bass/glove puppet etc)
• the slightly mad guy who dresses as Benny Hill and walks his tiny dog everywhere - fittest dog in the world. Mad McKenna - has she died? If she hasn't, stear well clear she is totally deranged and a very scary lady when she runs after you down an alleyway in her bizarre get up!
• I met "mad makenna" several years ago in an old peoples home. In there she was on medication & was one of the nisist peole to meet, she would go round the house looking after the animals. I use to be scared of her when i was little but the woman i met in the old peoples home was so different.
• scouty, the banjo man and pinter
• if you mean dirty homeless scum then why are we talking about them?
• I don't know anyone as eccentric as I am.

• no offence to the guy coz he is funny to look at sometimes... now dressing up as captain scarlet (equipt with ray gun) dont he sound a bit peodoish to you? obviously to make kids smile is cool yeh, but kinda this day in age u always gotta think about it...
• Skelly the skater is a bit of a Fag but is well known. Dan Turner, pro skater can sometimes be seen around.
• hhmm glover the bike shop salesman who allegedly had to go to hospital with a bike pump stuck up his bum
• that man that walks around with a cd player and the poor dog dragged by his side jeez...someone help......
• Carries a Stereo & walks a Dog which is often Dressed up. This is for real, do not try & give him money/have a picture taken/dance with/pet/sit on knee. Bless him,livens up an otherwise potentially dull shopping experience. Then there is just us Kettering folk as a whole, most have an eccentric quality - some more than others.
• There is a total psychotic who is obsessed with Elvis, walks around with a stereo playing music all day and has carboard cutouts of 'The King' on all over his windows... its worse than anything Glenn Close or Kathy Bates could come up with... this guy is NUTS.

• mad meg
• I remember mad Mckenna, she scared the **** out of me when I went to Park Road School late 60`s. Remember her brother who used to walk around Kett with a pack of dogs tied with string to his waist? Gathered info from some `old-timers`, he was a gifted & brilliant pianist. She was jilted at the alter on her wedding day & it sent her over the edge. Think their dad was a clock maker/repairer with a shop in Regent Street.
• I have never seen so many village idiots in one place my whole life. All the homeless are not homeless they are thieves. Everyone stares at you, even in the launderette. People run you off the road on the Oval, Bryant Road and Hawthorne Road so watch out. That dude with the dreadlocks -what is his game? I saw him selling drugs on the side of Peacocks to some girl thatworks at the local Tesco. And what's up with all his dogs. I always see him writing on the side of the road. And this weird dude that lives on Barnes Close and wanders around yelping. Highfield road looks like land of the living dead during the day. Scary. Does anybody work around there.
• Murray J works at Virgin Radio, And has opened a night club in Wellingboruogh. Fred Perry T-Shirts???? Mobile disco (my dad) ELECTRIC MAGIC! Rotaract
• You can spot em a mile off eithout me naming em - everyone!surely u can spy a juggler without my help!!

• Flute girl outside Natwest, you do my head in!Alan Smith
• just read your Kettering page, as we all live and work here we can tell you its far too close to the truth but gave us a few giggles. You mention a bloke dressed ae elvis and later a bloke dressed as benny hill well it is actually the same bloke at different times of the day, his real name is Charlie Roberts.he also does tommy cooper, santa and cupid depending what time of year it is Also it might not be a bad idea to take the bit about the lady in the wheelchair out. She was actually his wife and she died after crashing her wheelchair in the town centre - you can stop laughing now. Thats it from me keep it going as we love it but then we are all cynical press photographers.

• A guy called Burt Brett, he walks round the town centre drunk, and shouts at little kids, this was hours of fun for me when me and my mates were younger
• Ingy Hunnings - during the week mild mannered solicitor, when pushed penny whistle player genius
• Check out 'Benny Hill' in the town centre, mad old guy who walks round with a radio round his neck, walking his dog, and sometimes pushing his mom in a wheelchair, he also dresses up himself and his dog as Santa at Christmas. Also theres 'Brian May' who has a Banjo and can't play for toffee who would make more money if he sold it. Spidey also an aura of crap around him all the time.
• Rowell Fair - during Trinity week each year - must be mentioned here. One of the counties highlights especially as the pubs open at 6 of a Monday morning. If the weather is OK sleep it off in the Mounts park.
