Nottingham City Portraits - The Banjo Man

It wasn't too long ago that the only street entertainer in Nottingham was a guy called Frank who played the xylophone really badly (albeit he was a local celebrity and now has his own memorial plaque in the City). Now we have a plethora of people but today was the first time I've come across the banjo in a while. Takes me back to afternoon matinees with my nan watching George Formby, it was terrible but I smiled like a good grandson should. This guy was actually really good although just like the bagpipes there is only so much of this particular instrument I can consume in a short period of time. Fair play to him though, he was entertaining.

 

Resisted the temptation to monochrome this one. I've added grain and spent a little time giving this bit of a 'photo processed' feel in Lightroom.
