We were being entertained by a trio of old-time buskers—my first street musicians, Great fun!

Haunting yet deeply human.

She reaches her subjects very soul within these beautiful compositions. Clive Murphy

How did everyone survive? It nearly crushed me, and eventually left me homeless as new money and new property investors moved in to these already devastated and smashed areas.

Was one of the ideas of ‘globalisation’ in these areas to wash all the poorest people out?
