Street music and buskers are found the world over. Ranging from children at preliminary stage violin to extremely talented musicians. Shown here are some Lap buskers playing pan flutes and drums in the old city in Stockholm. Their music attracted and held with many viewers purchasing the CD they were selling.
The Morris dancers are not strictly live music but the clapping of their sticks and the bells on their ankles and wrists made a lovely tinkle as they performed their ancient fertility rites originating from Moorish times.
The Patcham silver band playing outside the Brighton Pavillion certainly drew in the crowds as they played their soul soaring numbers.
My favourite however I came across at the Eumundi markets. It was live music I think….
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

That’s what’s so fascinating – hearing the differences and at the same time feeling the sense of familiarity.
