Off Topic 13 year old earns £70 an hour busking....

[puppyonacid]

Waaaaaaaaahahaaaaaaaaay off topic I know and I'm really sorry to Sterling and the gang for hi-jacking like this. I wouldn't do it lightly. So if any mods wanna move this or can it it's totally cool but........perhaps this kid hasn't heard of EBMM.

I ain't even gonna say anything about endorsements either

behold!

BBC NEWS | UK | England | Busker boy earns £70 an hour

 

[Mick]

Yeah work for your instrument and you´ll enjoy and worthship it twicw as much.
My opinion.

 

[Astrofreq]

That kid is amazing. He has amazing amounts of feel and taste.

 

[colinboy]

give that boy a JP musicman& he,l be sorted.

some talent for his age.must go practise now.

 

[Bungo]

I hope he doesn't go out busking on his own with that guitar because chances are someone will separate him from it pretty soon!

 

[DrKev]

£70 an hour?? That's, close on $140, nearly €90? Seems like an awfully high hourly average to me but good on him anyway, he's obviously doing well and playing his ass off. Now then, how do I get to Brighton from Paris? Seems like there's not much point doing actual gigs any more if busking pays that well.

 

[Spudmurphy]

Mmmm - wonder if the tax man knows about this? - it's taxable irrespective of age.

As long as he doesn't exceed the tax free allowance of £5435 pa then he should be ok. - he needs a good accountant!!

 

[Beth]

Wow, just down the road from Strings and Things, our distributor for the UK! Sweet chops -- needs a Music Man, though.

 

[phatduckk]

im jealous fo that kid. he's damn good!

 

[Oldtoe]

*COUGH*

Excuse me. I must've choked on something.



That kid has talent and taste. Good on him.

 

[Danserrano]

he'd make 200 if he had a musicman =D

 

[Rod Turtle]

*COUGH*

Excuse me. I must've choked on something.



That kid has talent and taste. Good on him.

His taste is not that good,or he would be playing balls

 

[Roubster]

Good guitar shredding LIVES!!!! And yea, he is freakin good for 13...well much better than me at 23. Is it possible to catch up to someone who is younger than you?

 

[73h Nils]

That kid's sick. Great stuff...But...he shouldn't be saving for a Marshall...Mesa FTW. (I know he's in the UK, I'm just saying ...)

 

[azazael]

Well he just wasted 2 grand on that PRS...

 

[guitarman23]

well thats really cool, wish id make that much an hour, i would buys all the balls i want!

seriously! if i lived in the uk i would go down there and have him try one of my balls!!! no way he should keep that PRS....

 

[Headstock]

Should probably just send my gear to him, he knows how to use it.

 

[MusicManJP6]

I think that is awesome! He bought that PRS (which I think is pretty sweet) with money he earned busking! That's insane. We just have drunk bums that busk around here and they play halfass versions of redneck songs on a broken down acoustic that's barely in tune. But, I'd give that kid some money every time I walked by! Haha.

 

[glockaxis]

That's really something. Earning what you buy. In today's world that's somewhat unheard of. Props to the kid and his father for guiding him along the right way!

 

[Earplayer]

cool thread!

serious talent and nice feel for a 13year old! i am so jealous and happy for that kid!!!
