Not because I'm from New York or anything but. . . Well we have the best! The other day this guy had an entire sound deck in middle of Grand Ave and 30something St. he owned he was giving himself a massage and then he gave one to J.D, we were so close to start breakdancing. Only if I had taken my courage medicine!

Saw some fun uns in Quebec C...this one dude was playing the wineglasses which was actually pretty impressive. A few of the street performers even had cds on sale. :P The accordion was fun too, as was the harp.

Covent Gardens in London have awesome street performers.

I love the street performers in Covent Garden! Except for the Golden Man, he scares me.

They are pretty good there! But I agree, they scare me too those statue people!!!

The perfect instrument for backpackers is obviously the spoons as they can be used for eating or even a romantic dinner for two.

I really want to learn the bodhran it's fairly portable too.

on the tube in london in dec,i was goin hounslow way on picadilly line and there was some guy playin with a flute,he was just walkin about in the carriage playin his flute,then stopped,went round with a tin,then at the next stop,he got off and walked onto the next carraige,that was intresting to watch

id personally prefer to play my g-tar,but with portable amp,if yer gna play g-tar sumwhere,do it properly XD,but im thinkin about getting this to go travelling with,im in fast reply so uh,since i cant think of how to do this atm cos im too...knackered heres a the address instead - http://www.russellsformen.com/images2/mg-11.jpg - yer,that seems simple enough,i would prob try and dow g-tar/gazoo/harmonica at same time or something,i dont kno,but the more intstruments you can play at once,the more money your likely to get...as long as you can play something well

but i have a question for you,does matter whether you can sing or not???,i cant sing and play,i can have ago at both,individually,not at same time though
