They've got the X-Factor

Quite a lot of musicians in Cambridge today including these guys playing some sort of Blue Grass thingy - brilliant and very happy about being photographed though I only had my iPhone out at this stage and had to rush as the road had just ceased to be pedestrian only. Just a quick post because Downton is about to start!!
Three goos things:
1. Nice bit of jazz sax by the punts (though a really good bit of jazz sax would be even better).
2. Eccentric group by M&S including a violinist in a flamenco dress and some sort of high heeled clogs.
3. Blue Grass on Trinity Street - even better if I hadn't nearly been run over by a TK Maxx delivery lorry while I was taking the shot.

A violinist in flamenco dress! Did she play flamenco! There was a youg boy at our farmers market yesterday playing a piece from Carmen - he was so so good!

[Jane Pittenger]

Great composition and atmosphere. Looks like a fun day

[Hazel]

I like all the street musicians against the old stonework and also the restricted colour palette - they all seem to be wearing shades of blue.

[Barbara Paquette]

The fellows look very American and out of place against the stone work and the bicycles! Love the broody guy on the right.

[Peter de Graaff]

Great street shot.

Creat street shot and such a fun title!

[Pat Knowles]

O love street music & especially this sort, it gives you such a lift as you walk along. Love the head gear! I gave Downton a miss last night as we were so engrossed in the golf, it was so fabulous & the greatest win I have ever seen. Will watch D A today sometime.

[Pat Knowles]

BTW forgot to say i love all the detail here, stone wall, bikes, money hat etc etc!

[Terry]

[samantha]

Great shot Judith. Love the expressions - they certainly seem to be enjoying themselves. Great tones and textures.

[Mike]

Your Point 3 could explain why the banjo player was smiling!!

[Melanie Savage]

Great street shot :) Don't forget your green cross code Judith!!

[Janna E.]

I always loved all the musicians of Cambridge - makes the city so much livelier!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Now that's a great candid. He looks so happy!

[Phil Howcroft]

i was going to say brilliant cambridge shot then, but then you siad a TKMAX lorry was in the vicinity ......I would imagine that would spoil the lovely surroundings somewhat

Cool pic though judith

[Cathy]

Lots of interesting things going on... the musicians, bikes, texture of the stone wall... great shot!

[Linda Lorraine]

LOVE this!! Can almost hear the music playing

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Nice one! I think of your wonderful bicycle shots every time I see a bike.....but the bikes and the surroundings are both usually so dismal ....seemingly hopeless!!!!!!! we'll see!

[Dawn Reilly]

Great shot! the colors give is bluesy feel!
