Not unless you've been in The Commitments, won an Oscar and busk because it's "getting back to your roots" Hansard you ass!

Loitering is not, which is the usual excuse for moving people along.

yeah, thought there were some changes brought in last year - aggressive begging or something.

but some buskers should be shot* on sight, for sure.

*as in bullets, not as in outlaw pete's approach.
