Took the shot a week after seeing them, incidentally.

Really unique capture, sort of an unusual blend cultural/musical/social collectives and norms all rolled into one shot.

Yeah. I really dug the contrast between the obvious punk ethos and the sort of folk angle of the music.

I wish we said busked or busker or any variation there of. But really, fantastic shot, great capture of emotion, and find me a punk chick who plays violin and will join my acoustic group.

Mail order punk-rock violinist business? I vote yes.

I think there's at least one (if not several) jokes differentiating violins and fiddles through the usage of the principle of over-rosining...
But all that aside, this is a very fun photo! Wish I could have heard some Scotch-flavored busking today. Maybe I'll do some of my own sometime.

I...am not familiar with these jokes. Thanks for the comment, m'dear.

Trad musicians tend to...throw them around a lot. You should hear the tinwhistle ones. Awkward.

Her violin is over-rosined. Unfortunately, that's the last thing I noticed.

I'm going to be on white ave tomorrow night. I shall perhaps keep my ears to the street for some scotch flavoured busking from these punkster minstrels.

She played pretty well. I regretted the fact that I had no change on me, she deserved some.
