As we gear up for the return of Mount Busking Festival this King’s Birthday long weekend, we want to shine a light on the talent you can expect to see down Mount Mainstreet.
Remember, koha is welcome. Bring along some cash to support your local favourites, otherwise many of our buskers will have a QR code so you can make an electronic donation via The Buskers Project.
See you there!
