BUSKING

If you want to hear free music in London, you should go underground, for it is in the subways that cross under London's streets and link them to the underground railway's station that many "buskers" or street musician prefer to play. Most buskers are young people looking for an alternative work. Some are dedicated musicians who see busking as a mean of playing their music without interference. Some are students, other are artists who play at the weekend. There are some standard to follow: the music as to be simple but well played, it is important because the audience consists of passer-by who have no time to stop and listen. Busking without a licence is illegal in Britain but the police tend to turn a blind eye to busking perhaps they, like many others, enjoy the music in the underground.
