More buskers we'll never see in Collingwood



...until we make the recently-passed licensing bylaw more culture-friendly and busker-friendly, we'll never see any of these type of performers or events:

Wow. Can you imagine Collingwood musicians being part of one of those videos? Maybe next term...

Either all of these buskers use amplification, aren't in a rigidly controlled location, or there are more of them than we allow. Yet look at the excitement many of these groups generate on the street. People dancing, clapping, singing along with them. That's the sort of entertainment and animation we could have had, with a less authoritarian busking bylaw.



I've posted a couple of pictures of buskers downton, Canada Day, on the new gallery, performing in ways that will be illegal as of Monday, July 5. Take a look - you won't see their like again once the bylaw takes effect.
