Saxophone player busking on Lordship Lane

A saxophone player has recently started appearing at the traffic lights outside Co-op on Lordship Lane on a Saturday afternoon and on a Tuesday afternoon. Does anyone else find this creates a noise disturbance? I live in a flat on Lordship Lane and work from home, and have found this noise disturbance most unwelcome.

I was really pleased to see that guy honking his sax a week or so ago at that spot.

What with planes and traffic noises isn't this a welcome relief ?

It'd be a shame for him to be moved-on IMO when he's bringing some humanity to an otherwise bland setting.

It's a High St. innit.

I'm guessing for most people out shopping and/or passing by it's a harmless (and temporary) little distraction that might raise a smile but to anyone who lives within earshot it's a non-stop, permanent (for as long as he's there), droning, pain in the arse.


Maybe do 30min then nick off and annoy someone else?

Not unless he's psychic, he's been there on a Saturday for a few weeks now :)


ETA: In case of doubt, I mean the saxophone player, not Bobby Keys, obv.

Maxxi basically nails it. To wonder down the street and hear someone playing music is lovely, you can walk on by, or stop and listen for a minute.


To live above it though means that you're given no choice in the matter.


I agree with Maxxi, find a few spots, and do a "set" in each, but don't stay in the one place for a couple of hours as that seems a bit much.


People basically forget that people live above shops.
