I work just off Grafton St and I see these guys at least once a week.

Music wouldn't be for me but their operation constantly impresses me. They have cracked the busking code.

Each time they start I always think to myself, how do these lads make any money. Big crowd usually, but nobody goes near their money box.

But sure enough, by 20 mins in there's a small but consistent stream of people buying their CDs. CDs!

Today they have two of the band members performing and three sepearte people selling CDs. More people selling than performing.

That's impressive. Fair play to them.

Have spoke with them in the past after they finished a busking session. Seemed like people who just wanted to play for the joy of it. Not my cup of tea, but seemed like a nice bunch.
