Saxophone player busking on Lordship Lane

[StephenED]

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 think it's brilliant that we've got somebody busking in East Dulwich.

I'm thinking of bringing out my melodeon.

Be very afraid :))

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?

Maybe a tribute to Bobby Keyes who has died today.

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.

You can have the christian evangelists from my way :)

....or the whistler - who hasn't stopped for 3 days now.

I thought the sax player was so good, I wondered if he was a famous musician having a laugh. It is loud and would be intrusive if you don't like it. But I love it.

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.
