Street-illegal

By Steven | December 9, 2008

Here’s some free advice to any busker accused of falling foul of Auckland City Council’s extraordinary new policy on street theatre requiring buskers to have a sufficient repertoire of songs to last out their performance (maximum playing time: one hour) without repetition:

1. thank the authorised officer kindly,

2. apologise for the breach of the new code of conduct, and

3. launch into a performance of that perennial crowd favourite, A thousand and ten green bottles.
