The legendary man with the broken kick drum and loads of shit playing guitar singing and playing harmonica and when he plays the harmonica the dog hes with sings pure genius Tin man (collects tins from everywhere)
• that man that covers himself in silver paint and does that thing with that round weird ball thing
• Tramps in town.
• Various crap street entertainers - the obligatory CRAP pseudo South-Americans playing the pan-pipes, the God Squad either in Gallowtree Gate or Town Hall Square and some senile old tw@t sitting outside Boots playing some or other musical instrument very badly.
• Occasionally a group of Peruvian pan pipe players attract a large crowd on Gallowtree Gate.
• all the chavs and the drunks on there way out of creation but thank god i miss them cuz the club i go is open 2 hours longer yay im saved
• The..men of native skin colour that sing with the voices and instruments and dresa of the people in the Belgrave road area.now THATS a funny sight!!
• That monk that wanders around chanting "Gouranga" or theres that human statue guy
• Theres a living statue, who is very good at rolling a glass ball down his arm and not dropping it, thats about it.
• Theres some Rasta with an Acoustic who hangs around Silver Street, very close to the 'Very Bazaar' shop, come on the guy must be stoned 24/7, unless that is actually reggae he's playing.
• shoot em!!
• don't seem to be many left.
• ummm, quite a few
• filth
• Be prepared for an explosion of pop and rock exquisiteness that is sure to take hold of the newest band in the city (actually very new), Carolgees.
• There's a bagpiper occasionally who plays around Humberstone Gate. You might like to throw spanners at him.
• If you want to avoid them do not go down any of the subways, gloomy and scary at the best of times its not good to have someone crooning with a three-stringed guitar.
• theres a man who plays a saw! can usually be seen on grandby street, but if u look carfully then u can see that his box is a big speaker thing and hes not actually playing the saw!
• That bloody Bagpipe bloke needs to be shot!
• That cute but very scary man who is about 50 and gos round with a plastic cup, a stick and a badge saying 'Birthday Girl', who upon sighting his prey beats his badge with his stick whilst pointing at his cup, Hilarious and worth giving him a few pence after closing time. Before colosing time however is liable to result in you running screaming for cover.
• Those guys playing mexican music in ponchos and pan-pipes seems to be everywhere - all the places I've ever been to in England, such as Norwich, Nottingham, Derby, London, Bradford - they must be following me!
• those dumbass anti-capitalist, socialist twats that are always in town!! cant they find anything better to do after their coal mines/ sock factories cloes down!! oh, and those muslims that are always in town are annoying to.
