Loud music blaring from the Birmingham Christmas Market in an area where busking is banned. This was never about noise nuisance. It was about purging the streets of spontaneity, and ensuring @BhamCityCouncil can profit from any music being played #buskingban #birmingham

@BhamCityCouncil “Everything happens here and all at once, commuters and buskers, thronging the squares, the hubbub of commerce and labour” St Martins Sq in Brum. The council need to get out the chisel given they’ve banned busking. @EquityUK @Keepstreetslive @birmingham_live

The absolute gall to be posting this just weeks after imposing a city centre wide busking ban... Unbelievable

Thank you to @sarahjradio for having me on her show today. It's unfortunately a rarity in these sort of media appearances to be given the time to speak in detail, but that's exactly what I was allowed to do this morning. @BhamCityCouncil are still refusing to speak with us

This comes into play on Friday. No engagement with the busking community, and the Councillor pushing it misled the council over its scope, which has been confirmed by one of their colleagues. I have registered an official complaint for a breach of the Nolan principles

Birmingham City Council@BhamCityCouncil

We're considering introducing a PSPO to combat ASB in the City Centre area in respect of excessive noise levels in the street from street based activities such as busking, street preaching and street entertaining. Tell us your views 👇

Birmingham Council are about to pass a busking ban that they have been told does not ban busking. Either @TennantJamie has deliberately misled the council, or he has also not read the proposals @bbcmtd @birmingham_live @bbcwm @BhamCityCouncil @PrivateEyeNews

@DavidFisherFolk @TennantJamie The council’s idea of engagement is to tell us what they propose then construct questions around their proposals then tell us how it will be. We’ve suggested compromises over the years on the previous #PSPO #BuskingBan and this one - all ignored. #Birmingham #CityThatBansCulture

I'm concerned that @tennantjamie, who spoke yesterday in favour of the PSPO in Birmingham, doesn't understand its scope. He claims that it only targets 'excessive noise' (from 33m). This is untrue, and I urge Jamie to read the proposals carefully 1/ birmingham.public-i.tv/core/portal/we…

Security guard: You need to leave Me: I'm not breaking any laws by busking here. Security guard: OK, so which law aren't you breaking? Me:.... All of them? A reminder that it is not illegal to busk on private property such as a shopping centre, or outside a supermarket!

This is why I keep banging the drum for retaining cash as an option. A lot of card-only businesses across the world will have to close today

Waterstones Falkirk@FalkirkWtstones

Good morning!! Unfortunately due to technical issues, we will be CASH ONLY today. Apologies for any inconvenience caused ❤️

@Redrichmond2 @ChurchfieldJE This system would not work for public highways. It's hugely restrictive. Busking would die overnight if something this were introduced on a wide scale

@ChurchfieldJE @Keepstreetslive Check out how london and and the underground does it. It works well here

@SymFletcher @ChurchfieldJE We already pay tax on what we earn, just like any self-employed person!

@ChurchfieldJE @Keepstreetslive Then they get taxed on the small amount they earn...& some do it for charity !!

A noticeably chillier busk for many in Britain today. Buskers, how are we holding up? And non-buskers, please be kind and generous to your shivering local busker!

This is concerning. The current process to introduce a PSPO involves a public consultation and consulting interested groups - and so it should. Rogue PSPOs criminalise the vulnerable and at KSL we will continue to lobby politicians for fair reform #LabourConference #busking

Great sound and battling valiantly here against Camden's amp ban. When you can project like @LaurieWright4, you often don't need one! Good hats, Laurie!

@GMB @ryanmarkparsons Ryan-Mark Parsons is very misinformed... busking is not begging, as proven in Gray v Chief of Manchester Police 1982. And yes, it is bad etiquette to film a busker and not drop money in their case! Goodness me, what a joyless rant. Keep music live! #keepstreetslive #busking

Good Morning Britain@GMB·3 Ağu

'They're disruptive, they're noisy, and there's no regulation.' One council is cracking down on buskers after noise complaints skyrocketed to over 5,000. So we're asking, should buskers be banned? 🎶🚫 @ryanmarkparsons and Ky Lewis debate 🗣️

Rather sad to hear an announcement on a @TfL train instructing passengers not to support buskers. They can create their restrictive, closed-shop busking 'schemes' all like - but they are no friend of buskers #busking #keepstreetslive
