• Roland, he walks the streets 24/7 usually with his dogs, and is a great source of stupid and funny information, hes a great man and every1 loves him really :o\
• Luke Mccann - enough said
• It has been decided that this category might be suitable to announce a great loss to Penrith, the world, and to music today. Mr Andrew Ruddick was last week taken ill with Diaphesius Phenoheamodrixia - more commonly known as Norton's Glaucoma. He shortly afterwards slipped into a coma and never recovered. Andrew was a much loved member of the English music scene, contributing countless songs to both struggling artists and well-established pop musicians. The service commemorating Andrew's short, but brilliant, life will be held at Saint Catherine's Roman Catholic church on Monday 24th March 2003, and is open to all who wish to pay their respects to Andrew and his family. Andrew Ruddick: 1980 - 2003.
• i once sang a verse of a song outside threshers
• roland bateman, is he a street entertainer?
• If bare knuckle fighting pleases you then there is plenty to see
• the locals on a saturday night staggering aroung great entertainment
• Not many but there is Plug and Play on a Sunday night at the Playhouse which is sometimes excellent, sometimes pure shite when no-one turns up. Watch out for Phil on his ukilali. Also Tom who does the sound... mm mm. Good for meeting people though... if old bikers are your type! Just about the only night activity free of 12-year-old slappers!
• Not really? Either the Councel get them locked up or local thugs will stomp on them. Its no place for fine things like music!
• Nowt better than a good chuckle at roland
• One word "ROLAND"
• I once spotted jimmy rich with a triangle on the corner of sydny bakewells (wanker)not jimmy you know who i mean the guy with the head like a tv set,anyway if you spot jimmy on the street with his triangle and his bags beside him spare him a sheckle or 2 as he has to replace the bags on a regular basis and needs to busk in order to raise the funds for his plastic friends.
• FRIDAYSTOPPERS.CO.UK
• Who can beat the gleeful greetings and musings of the local loon..."ROLY". This timid and inquisitive creature is to be found 'roaming' the streets day and night, seeking out new knowledge and banter from innocent passers-by. If you like the game "twenty questions", you will undoubtedly LOVE to be acosted (sorry I mean MET) in the street by our lovable character. Another equally amusing 'STREET-WANDERER' goes by the locally labelled name of "BETTY". This round faced plumper can be seen at ALL hours wandering aimlesly from street to street, walking at a slow-to-stopping pace with his head down and shoulders hunched, hands in pockets. Although initially amusing to see, the novelty quickly wears off, as this creature is non-interactive, and just for visual amusement.
• Play anywhere!!!!!!!!! Put a bit of life into the streets please
• There's this old tramp guy who walks around being sick occasionally!!
• A suprising amount of modern street art first thing on Sunday mornings.
• Mark Raine. Pissed as a fart, singing to himself. Possibly And then picking a fight.
• 1 homeless guy i think, turksy (retarded i think)
• the guy you used to dress as jesus and shout alot at churches.comedy genius.
• Entertainment? haha this is penrith,NOT New York!!
• Well i am not sure if he is a street entertainer but the blonde one out of queer as folk went to the grammer school. Everyone hated him and we all knew that if we called him a poof and sexy boy for long enough he would get a job in a show like that.
• Andrew Rose, guitarist extraordinaire. He has as much stage presence as a wet lettuce and plays all the right notes, just not necessarily in the right place or time.
• Roland- what a stud! Do not offer him lucozade or express any interest in the fact that it is his birthday. He exists in a time wrap. You will emerge from the conversation to find that your family are dead and the Bradys have taken over the world.
• try contacting pj at that wonderful sixthform in penrith.(ucc)
• COLIN PARKES - THE NAME SAYS IT ALL!!!! IDIOT
• Lips International
• If you ask nicely, I am sure that some of the Blues regulars will give you some "Street Entertainment" for the price of a Vodka and Coke. Often, young locals can often be seen "Decorating" the outsides of various public houses, which is often quite amusing, along with the fights that regularly break out into the streets....
• YOU ALL KNOW MARTIN WARREN AND MARK THORBURN BOTH BUSKED TO GO TO COLLEGE
• Colin Parkes - Comes out with no money and raises £20 for booze by walking in a pub to a juke box with his top off!
• Adam Slack is not dead - he was recently sighted in London.
• Malcolm Walker, yet again, He licks faces of innocent passers-by. He is the master baker of the Penrith Safeways, so he adds water to the bread mix. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!! DO NOT BUY YOUR BREAD FROM SAFEWAYS!!!!!!
• Street entertainers in Penrith are:- Roland - who only wants you to buy him some new socks, a bottle of lucozade and a King Fried Chicken, Turksy - who you will see wandering from pub to pub.
• Adam Slack (R.I.P) - those of you old enough to remember - the legendry punk who spent so much time sitting on the bank steps he was part of the scenery - always a good topic of conversation for the old gossips with too much money and time on their hands sipping their coffee in the George Hotel window.
• On a similar line to 'Turksey', a younger, newer and perhaps even more insane local goes by the name of 'Parksey', invariably the guy who is jumping up and down and shouting in the street. He too can provide hours of entertainment.
• There is a guy called "Turksy" who is always around town (often outside Midland bank) who provides hours of fun with his witticisms, and ideas about life.
