I work on grafton street and would desperately love to hear some original music or even actual trad music. All the musicians play the same Ed Sheeran, The Script etc bland music (it gets even blander after the 10000th time listening to it). Very little originality with any of the buskers.
It must be challenging for the shop assistants on Grafton Street, having to endure on a Monday morning angst ridden snowflakes expressing to the world their feelings and pain on a badly played acoustic guitar.
@Ronaldo Blanc:
Yes. Music must be hard for people like you. I would suggest amputating your ears
@Ronaldo Blanc: I wish I could click “like” another million times
Shopping on Grafton street is an expensive hobby.
It can’t be that bad if he gave up an engineering job, and I’m sure he had a early start doing that too
@Nucky: busking on Grafton Street is small fry. An engineer with not travel in 35 countries in five years. That is why you would quit.
One of the only joys I get out of being dragged to Dublin for shopping is to relax on grafton street listening to the musicians.
Ah now, sure some of them are woeful.
Don’t really pay them much attention since most got the amps out, I think they are missing the point as far as the listener is concerned.
And those three aul fellas on O’Connell St outside Kylemore Cafe need some serious lessons in singing and musicianship, what they currently produce is an embarrassment, also they are pushing some christian literature while they are there which they should not do. Nice bunch of lads apart from that and some people find them mildly amusing but the racket is dreadful.
@Eddie O’Neill: They’re my favourite! Great fun! I love the live music around Dublin. I would like if shops were quieter though, I find myself leaving shops before I find what I want because the music is so bad and so loud.
He’s not bad that David Owens fella. Lovely mellow sound.
Sorely missed are the likes of Damien Rice and Glen Hansard as for noise restrictions, what restriction. turn up with an amp, backing tracks, and fool some the people some of the time. Busking all over the city has gone from bad to worse
Once pleasant, agreeable, ethnic and tuneful. That was a few decades ago. Now truly dreadful, the noise, and the crowds, make Grafton Street a place best avoided.
A large German tank with flame throwing abilities rolling down Grafton St eliminating every Sheehanist performer, their guitars splintered beneath the tracks, their tiny box of CDs for sale crushed to fragments is the only way to go. The dance troupes are even worse. I’d like to bring back the bloke who used to play the saw and that group of traveler kids who couldn’t play harmonicas but played them anyway outside Arnotts dressed is large suit jackets and cheap sunglasses. I’d be willing to reverse the tank back up the street if Keywest started setting up their equipment
You can get robbed all the time, you can get attacked all the time. That’s really depressing to hear
And sorry to say, they’re all still brutal !!
have your say
