Back in April I was lucky enough to catch four of Perth's mega talented buskers jamming together in the city. Since then French musician Flo above, see him singing in Murray St. here, has released his new CD, existentially unnamed.. it exists therefore it is, so French oui :) am listening to it as I type, très bon! Flo will be on his way to Asia by now.. Perth's loss Asia's gain! Petar below, and above enjoying Flo's last gig in Perth on Friday, has released his new CD 'Dream Chaser' which he produced, wrote or co wrote all songs except 'Hallelujah'.. I'm pretty sure if living legend Leonard Cohen had heard Petar's tribute when he was here in Perth last year he would have approved! Hope your weekend is progressing as hoped, take care...
Oh, it's such fun to catch the musicians playing street concerts!! I end up humming or singing for the remainder of the day!! Great shots as always, Grace!! Hope your weekend is going well!! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteI hope they all sound a bit more cheerful than dear old Len. Now I'm off to check that video.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that Young musicians love and play L. Cohen !It wil bring them luck (I hope !)
ReplyDeleteNice week-end, here it's raining , Yiiipee ! :)
Oh please send them over to V...
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a good looking singer, i like L. Cohen very much, especialy when he sings " so long Marian" i always thinks it is personal sung for me, ha, ha.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough way to make a living, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI'm just thinking about all that equipment they're lugging around!
ReplyDeleteGood captures, Grace!
ReplyDeleteHallelujah's a tough song to cover, but that doesn't stop people from having a go at it.
Nice. The cds seem very cheap. I thought the going rate was $20 and has been for years.
ReplyDeleteAlways great when there's talent out on the streets performing.
ReplyDeleteI've been well entertained and educated this morning Grace - thank you for the wonderful links, I've had a ball! I love Flo's interview and voice and do miss enjoying buskers in the city! Happy Sunday, xJoy
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to be able to enjoy a free concert. Sorry to hear you are losing a great street musician.
ReplyDeleteWe used to have street musicians. The city chased them all away.
ReplyDeleteI like a busker who brings cds. If they're good I'm buying it.
ReplyDeleteI heard Petar busking in Fremantle and he was wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go!! Thank goodness there are young folk able to show their talent off for us to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a different quality to our street musicians, Grace!
ReplyDeleteLove the dark, evocative pennings og Cohen.
ReplyDeleteIf someone likes of Leonard Cohen, it must make good music.:)
ReplyDeleteBuskers work hard, methinks. I'm a big fan of Leonard Cohen so I'm pretty sure I would have enjoyed these musicians.
