| Comment | After a walk all the way up Buchanan St, I'm going to stand for councillor on the following platform:
Introduction of a new legally enforced code of behaviour for buskers:
1. All songs by Sheeran or Ezra banned outright
2. Average speed of a busking set to be a absolute minimum of 90bpm
3. Any reworking of a classic must be at least as upbeat as the original - no melancholy breath-ey covers of previously happy songs
4. There will be a published list of not-terrible-but-overplayed songs, and these will be on a strict quota with each to be played no more than twice daily across the entire city centre. The list shall initially include Hallelujah, Wonderwall and Valerie but will be monitored and updated weekly on a post nailed to City Chambers. Anyone found to be exceeding the quota will have their song lists restricted to Bee Gees covers for one week
5. Any busker who permits drunken neds to take over their microphone shall be permanently banned unless it can be shown it was under extreme duress
The code is open to public consultation |
