The street musicians DO what the "media artists" will NEVER do; The true encounter between people and true artists in joy..!!!! Best wishes from mairiporã, in Brazil..!!! (I'm a street musician too..)😉🙏🏼💛💚
Okaaay… If he dog’s ears hurt, howling will increase the pain. Haven’t you heard a wolfpack howling? I think if the dog’s ears hurt much he would cover his ears / move away - not add to the pain! He’s howling because that’s natural behaviour for canines; He’s joining in because it’s fun!
We are supposed to live in a democracy, and i love it when the lead singer asks the people if they want them to stay or go and the shout is conclusive that they should stay. We elect counsellors to enact our will, and so on hearing that those guys should have accepted it and left the band alone (let the will of the people stand). Equally, Councils like to argue they need to put in paid for parking and issue parking fines to the people of the towns and cities in the UK for parking in their own town whilst out - the councils like to argue it's to ensure more people can park or that the roads remain clear - but that's garbage, simply give us more parking spaces and make them free since we already pay taxes. What all this shows is that UK Council's have lost sight of the fact that they serve us, our will, our needs, our aspirations. They've become a bloated and costly self preserving industry that feathers its own nest on our income. There needs to be a drastic over haul of councils in the UK to make them better serve the people and not simply their own agendas.
@Windsor & Epstein Babysitting Servicesyes, you can see all the white people being oppressed by Muslims in the background can't you. Did you see the person with the red t shirt? Maybe he was sent by Putin? Take care and don't risk travelling more than 1 mile from your tv or computer screen.
I lived for a year in Sydney... There where a couple of bands that stopped me dead in my tracks whilst going to work resulting in me being late. Buskers sometimes have the best lyrics and ideas about life. Not afraid to lose anything because most of them already lost a lot. My respect to these guys... They would stop me dead in my tracks!
Defund big business by shopping at small businesses instead of big corporations. It's the Primarks, Greggs, McDonalds, HMVs and all the other global chain stores whose managers complain to cops and council officials who always lie about complaints from 'members of the public' but on many occasions it's the store managers who are whining. You can get a better burger from a burger stall and keep the money in the local economy instead of giving it to a multinational company to line the pockets of the super-rich or sit in an offshore account paying no UK tax
In the City of London, the old city, SO many of the old squares and spaces have been farmed out to the big corps and banks etc who refurb them to fit the image they want to portray. Often they spend mega fortunes doing it. Granite setts, Portland stone paving, statues etc. Price we pay as the public is they then illegally introduce public restrictions on them. Can't sit there sir. Fuck off. These spaces are public spaces by law. Common areas of land. But they are being secretly squirreled away to the finance corps etc. Fuck this shit. Sure this goes on round the country but City of London is a bit different because of historical law.
I had the privilege of meeting this amazing team of Phat Bollard in Exeter City Centre on 28 April 2018 . They sing with meaning and passion against issues on injustice! Best among street singers. They are brilliant. Please watch all other videos by them.
Fantastic boys. You represent and deliver a very important message. And the number of people supporting you here shows you’re not alone in it. Those council twats were literally wanting to stop their people having FREE positive enjoyment… what kind of person/organisation even does that?!
me upset now after seeing this video and missing phat bollard in my home city shame on the council after these guys had come from down south to entertain us folks up north keep it up lads and one day I hope to see you live
Even the dog started singing along. This is the epitome of animalistic raw talent. Reminds me of how I sound when I get infuriated in the shower when there's nothing but cold water. I'm going to sing this song to my landlord. Thanks for posting this video.
No self respecting Jobsworth is without his Shield ( Clipboard) Armour (Hi Viz)and Sword (pen).... Your very behaviour recruited seemingly uninterested people in solidarity ....Bravo!
Cheers. I'm sorry that climate change is having severe affect on your land. Your all welcome here. Even though our country's shit lol. Us westerners have got to stick together
As a fellow busker I absolutely adore this in every which way. And yous are absolutely amazing. Nice to see perfection with talent and genuinely class voices and music. Yas are mint.
Thank you guys for a big massive smile you put on people's faces in this horrible times, true heroes all of you fighting this thuggs gangsters to the core 👏👏👏👌💯
In that very moment the band thought to themselves, everything up until now, the change in band managers, the gig cancellations, the tour bus breaking downs, the record labels turning them away, oh yes.. in that very moment, they asked, was it all worth it? Course it facking was, now it’s time to avvvvv a cappp a tea and hold on toooo these lives that we caaaaannn poooooo
nice tune! fun band. the reason its (usually) an issue (in the uk) is they are too close to the shop windows and its amplified. i think every city should have a few proper busking spots under a roof to encourage quality live performance, as internet shopping takes over, we need to make high streets special again. so take those 2 council workers yearly wages and instead spend it on high quality entertainment for your highstreet
I got busted for busking a couple of times. The charge was not 'singing in the street', there's no law against that, but 'blocking the free passage of the highway'; that is , apparently.Technically I could could have pleaded not guilty because I wasn't impeding anyone's passage, (Heaven forbid!). The first time I got a 25 shilling fine, (£1.25 in today's money, probably equivalent to a tenner). Better just to accept it and keep on dodging the fuzz; all part of the fun! I'm 71 now and quite well established but it's nice to know that if the excrement ever collides with the air conditioning I've got something to fall back on!!
Gosh, if they played in front of my shop I'd get them fresh coffee, buy their lunch & dinners, and stuff like that. To make them feel happy & welcome! 👍☺️👏
love it, and love the crowd being so supportive. p.s. I thought the guy on the right with the white t-shirt and dreadlocks was playing a curtain pole PMSL.
With the usual assault and robbery going on in No10... and the endless attack on earth and women's rights... I was getting a bit down earlier. I came here to listen once again... to this perfect soundtrack for current times. It never fails to lift my spirits and remind me what we are here to do... to riseeeee and to be free. To reclaim land that belongs to ALL of us, not just the shops. I am forever grateful for this moment of revolution.. for the dogs... for the giant crowd they amassed and especially for the council who give a perfect example of what the song is allll about. It couldn't have landed any more synchronised! Perfect...
Keep the faith Nadine. Very pleasing to me I caught this moment of misappropriation of assumed authority and truth and the joy and faith it brings to people. Stay strong, we will overcome.
No wonder people still vote for the Conservatives when the Labour party supporters who come out and are in the public image are all unwashed bin-diving tramps who are tree-hugging weirdos, looking like they've been pushed through a charity shop backward. Bet they all believe in ghosts and think the pigeons are government spies too. Backward cretins.
@@harrydavisbellingham6949 don’t mince your words do you. I reckon these guys have been called every name under the sun just for singing songs in the street. I think that earns them the right to do as they wish. Tell me, what do you do with your life.
@@craigwinterburn some people are so bitter and resentful about their path in life that they cannot help but spew that regret all over those who chose not to sell their souls... ^_^

This makes me so happy. I hope the world goes back to normal soon, so these beautiful instances can occur again.
I wouldn't be able to resist if I were him, he's in the wrong job lol
I’m glad the council came because it added more passion and it ended up being the best version of this song. Bravo
👌
Exactly!!!
Yup
Think it was a set up , but we'll played out

Can’t stop watching this - the fact that the song fitted the interaction but no seeming prior planning to pick that song - just seamless and lovely.
Priceless right down to their dog howling too!
Sue Condon their dog is a singer too! Love ‘em
The dog was howling because it hurt its ears, the same as mine, nothing to see hear move on!

This band has the best percussionist on earth! he doesn't take shit from anyone. Awesome!
Agreed. Inspiring!!
If we go through musical history, we find that most drummers are not to be messed with.
Yeah that’s a drummer thing haha. Must be hard wired in their nature lol
Careful, he's got a clipboard

They're mint, there's currently a group of activists that have taken hold of a building on this road and are using to help the homeless
Love this comment🙏

Totally.
Notice how the dogs howls were hyping the crowd to cheer aswell 😂
No matter what they do they wont be able to stop performance and expression, there is more to life than job,netflex & bed.
These guys are magic! Love the song too & they dealt with the jobsworths the way they should be dealt with. With reason!!
Urban outfitters should've been paying you to play there, amazing music!
Fantastic boys. You represent and deliver a very important message. And the number of people supporting you here shows you’re not alone in it.

The tories love to stop a party... didn't they ban raves when Maggie was in? Lame as ever. It's all about the GDP to the political "class."
And off they went to hide in a clothes shop.
Anybody notice that it was a ladies clothes shop? The fellow with the beer belly would have some difficulty fitting into a ladies dress!
Probably to buy some women’s underwear - for themselves.
Lol
There's an exit through the back. Into the shopping centre in that shop haha
please come back thousands will watch now.

Them busy bodies don’t want the people distracted from spending money

Brilliant 👏 fair play for standing up for yourselves,
Did anyone notice rhe beautiful dog joining in 😂😂😂😂
Perfect! Great performance good to see you all smiling and enjoying yourselves. :)
Nice to see Howard from Take That join a band to show off his bass playing skills.

Thank you for sharing
one of the best live performances i ve ever witnessed.
Having that song in your locker to blast out once challenged by the bootlickers is perfection.
Talented individuals trying to give some life into Manchester. Well done lads even though im 6 years late
Jeremy Corbyn on the drums and Liam Gallagher on the guitar, what a band
They way the council men buggered off was hilarious 😂
This is one of the best things I've ever seen.
I can't express how amazing this is. I need this as my ringtone ahhaha 😂💙 well done fellas
Melbourne Australia has some amazing buskers like this makes visiting the city so much more enjoyable
"go on home british council go on home"
Have you got no fucking homes of your own For 800 years we've fought you without fear and we will fight you for 800 more
This is such an iconic video, every now and then I think of it and have to search it up to watch/listen! 🌷
we need this band back in manchester in 2022 magic
we need this song in the charts
Whoaaa,,, a new gruppo? Let me call it Busker-gra... Something new but very entertaining. I’ll watch it again.
These are brilliant, so much talent.
Most genuine band I've seen ! Truly nice people amazing respect to them !
We need more people in the UK with this attitude. Amazing. If I was there I would of dropped use a note and had a jig 😅
They played that tune with fire and passion ... 😀
It’s funny that those who work in authority have no clue about laws.

these guys should suddenly appear when your getting a parking ticket
The one wandered off to the train station to get a few details, the other cracked on with some cottaging.
That pair of jobworths have limited power.
like none at all.
Nothing makes me smile more than this video :)
Gosh, if they played in front of my shop I'd get them fresh coffee, buy their lunch & dinners, and stuff like that. To make them feel happy & welcome! 👍☺️👏
Fuckin love it, the tune is amazing. Great sound. ;)
Why would you try to shake someones hand while their playing guitar ! fs how british.
MrHarry Ha ha, I thought that was hilarious
Must be a glitch in the Matrix as it was left-handed too!
What a twat if you don't realise that people with learning difficulties do these kinds of things. Stop picking on people and enjoy the music.
Adrian Sandry not a learning disability bro, she probably is on the spectrum
Regardless it's the gesture that counts
I don't know who these guys are but why shouldn't they be allowed to do what they want, they are not annoying anyone of the public!!
With all the shit that has happened in the last 18 months, what is so bad that we can't have a sing song and a dance, keep playing fellas
Makes me happy this song very good should have a album out.
Do a search you should 4 or 5 albums on the bandcamp website
love this song you guys are great
love it, and love the crowd being so supportive.
p.s. I thought the guy on the right with the white t-shirt and dreadlocks was playing a curtain pole PMSL.
Derek Scott it’s called a box bass. Probably is an adapted broom pole.
I’ve got other videos of entertainments th-cam.com/video/pR4EeJ2GIao/w-d-xo.html
Thats what Entertainment is supposed to be about. Id pay to see you play Easy your rhythms bang on ..
Yes phat bollard, live your life and be free, expressive, creative and fun
Love it when the dog starts howling!!😄😂😆👍👍👍👍👍👍💖💓💗
Just incase anyone was wondering THIS IS WHAT WINNING LOOKS LIKE =)
Even the dog is singing :)
I would guess the shop workers complained.
We have buskers all the time in Cambridge.
It’s nice.
