The Strangler by andycoleborn

The Strangler

WOW! Three photos in three days not just on the PP, but also on the home page!! Nothing like putting pressure on myself ..lol...

Seriouly though, a BIG THANKS to everyone for viewing, commenting and faving my last few snaps.. It really is a big boost :-)

And so to today's photo... I had to pop up the West End tonight with Sangeeta and took the opportunity to take a walk down to Trafalgar Square, which was jam-packed with people enjoying the mini heatwave we're currently experiencing.. There were a few buskers about but these guys were really superb.

A three-piece instrumental group playing mainly rock - Nivana, Pink Floyd and the like and had built up a good crowd.

I didn't actually notice the guy strangling his girlfriend in the background as I took this shot.

Ironically, minutes later they played a fantastic 20 minute version of Floyd's Comfortably Numb... One of my all time favorite tunes...
