Busker

[levi2]

Just got back from weeks hols with grankids took em to a holiday camp about 7 miles from blackpool. As usual i pop into blackpool and have a look about been doin this for years and everytime i go i usually catch sight of a busker this is the 1st time ive really got up close to be nosey. This fella plays a orange 60s fender strat uses a ipod for backing couldnt really see what amp as it was covered but had a digitetc delay/echo pedal. the shadows/hank marvin sound that came out was brilliant thought it was Tiny playing , he played shadows stuff but also robbie williams del shannon drifters but all with the shadows sound.as i sez earlier ive heard this fellow b4 walking past but not taking much notice but to my suprise hes about 95% blind i couldnt believe it I wonder if Bri knows who he is coz hes from round that area

Think I've seen this guy in Bolton and Salford if it's the same person
he used to play in a pub that I used in Salford 25 years ago when he was a young lad about 12 he still plays a lot of the same stuff.
Heard him a few weeks ago in Bolton town center playing the melody to Tears in Heaven sounding very Shadows like.
