The Secret Life of Buskers

Music reporter Julie Hill meets the brave musicians who perform on the footpath for money, the hope of being discovered or just out of sheer enjoyment. Michael is a 16 year old classical prodigy whose piano was confiscated by the council; Peter is a virtuoso violist who prefers the streets to concert halls, and Rikki is a visitor from England who hopes playing on the streets will propel him to stardom. All brave public criticism and the elements to perform out on the street.
