Annoying steel band repertoire
ON WEDNESDAY, July 8, I sadly witnessed in Stroud the death of busking.
The pitch normally frequented by the musically-talented Clover had been usurped by a new ensemble – an eco warrior steel band.
Sadly their only repertoire consisted of that catchy little number (I’ve Got The Empty Vessel Blues) which after a few minutes became annoyingly boring though the message was abundantly clear, empty vessels do make the most noise.
