Street Performers

One of the things I really like about London are the street performers. They are very unassuming and usually pretty good. I especially like the ones that play in the halls of the tube stations. The acoustics are really nice. I have seen and heard performers on guitar, violin, clarinet, saxophone, flute, keyboard, bagpipes(and they always wear a kilt to play the bagpipes), accordion and harp. I have also heard singers of opera, standards and folk music. It makes me smile every time.

Here is a clip of a street performer I saw in Kingston last weekend. He is singing an Elton John song - but it is hard to hear in the video. It reminds me of a movie - guess which one.
