but boy, were they good. Spectacularly good. Quite possibly the best street performers I have ever witnessed. I would very happily have paid proper money (as opposed to a couple of quid in the hat) to listen to them.
It has been a shitty week in many ways, but at least this is a long weekend. We didn't do anything to speak of yesterday, but took a bus into town today. First stop was GOMA. I don't think I have ever visited an art gallery that was quite so devoid of art. And the little that was there wasn't very good: just a handful of thoroughly mediocre video installations.
Second stop was Costa for a coffee and biscuit outdoors.
Third stop was a bench on Buchanan Street listening to these guys. When we came upon them, they were midway through "Take Five"... then a jazz version of "Baker Street" (which was much better than I could have imagined any version of "Baker Street" could ever be)... then some vaguely jazz-funk thing which I didn't recognise but did enjoy.
Fourth stop Sainsbury's, fifth stop the sofa. And I don't have to go home till tomorrow. A very fine weekend indeed :-)
Here are some more from today's haul...
Some great shots there, love the blue bulldog! Just been reading Imp's account...
ReplyDeleteA fine crop of shots there, and sounds like an ideal day.
