Unless you've been on another planet, The Bath Fringe has been running in the city for the last week and closes for another year on Sunday 8 June. The Spiegel Palace on the Recreation Ground with the mirror-bedecked Art Nouveau splendourhas been home to a number of events, including the Buskers Union semi-final competition to find the best busker. It saw more than 50 buskers competing against each other with the general public voting on who they thought deserved the term street idol.  | | The final of the busker competition will be held at The Edinburgh Festival... |
Brothers Tom, aged 21, and 14-year-old Rory, of Oxford, have now been named the semi-final winners. They've secured exclusive tickets to Glastonbury and their own CD single - courtesy of the Buskers Union. Tom said: "I have been once or twice to Glastonbury but my brother has always wanted to go. "This is a great chance and we can't wait to play our own set. It is going to be really special and something we won't forget." Buskers Union organiser Tylluan said: "They blew the audience away with an action packed display of skill and style. "When they were announced as winners the audience appeared delighted and the boys said it was a dream come true," she added. The pair will be playing at the Glastonbury Festival on the bandstand in the market place. |
