Ichi

I don’t think we’ve ever counted how many bands we’ve had come along to do a busk, but hands down Ichi was the most wonderfully bemusing. A complete joy to behold, watch Ichi performing three of his completely original jams below.

of Montreal

We were utterly delighted to have of Montreal back for a low key last minute busk in Lincoln’s Inn Fields. Despite only announcing mere hours before the main event, an eager crowd gathered nonetheless and listened to Kevin Barnes & co perform his ever weird pop songs. Brilliant. Watch the busk below:

Simone Felice

Simone Felice and his lovely cohorts treated us to some tunes on a showery April afternoon. The rain managed to hold out until we finished. Thanks, rain. Watch Simone’s magic below:
