Right, afternoon guys.

24 Markets on.

All lovely.

All the stalls are out.

Lovely, lovely.

I don't think the flower man is here today though.

Because he's usually down the bottoms.

It's all lovely guys.

Right, so I'm going to introduce Patrick.

Patrick is a community singer guys, okay.

He's not auditioning for The Voice because he's had a few problems with people screaming and shouting at him.

If you read his signs it will tell you community music or community karaoke.

He's here to promote a community karaoke, okay.

Now he's had people grabbing his mic, grabbing his equipment and he isn't the only busker that I've seen on videos and TikToks around the UK that's having problems at the moment with people snatching money, damaging equipment, snatching the mics and things like that,

okay.

If you damage any equipment of a busker that's criminal damage, okay.

But when you approach somebody like this, do yourself a favour, have a little read about what it's all about, okay.

He's here to promote karaoke within the community.

You don't need to sing to do a karaoke, okay.

He's here to get everybody up, singing, dancing, having a laugh and a joke.

He doesn't need to have a boost when he's here and neither does any other busker in the UK guys, all right.

So come along and support him.

He goes... so where do you go Patrick?

Murfa?

From Bram?

From Bram, to Philly, Newport, Cardiff, Bury.

I'll be Bury this Saturday.

Right, yeah.

And Patrick have said to me in the past... Eberveil.

Oh, Eberveil, yeah.

Yeah, it's a good Eberveil market, isn't it?

He looked at the shop up there, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

We looked for a shop up there, yeah.

It's picked up because after the pandemic, I didn't think it would, but it have up there, faithfully.

So just be aware now guys, there's lots of people doing things in the community and Patrick have said to me before in the past, further down the line, he'd like to do something from a charity point of domestic violence.

So this is him starting off and doing this and he needs to be supportive, okay?

You don't need to sing to do karaoke, right?

It's people to come and have a laugh and a joke and have a good time, all right?

And Patrick has also helped us and our customers lift everything's in the shop.

He's not a volunteer, but he's helped us load and he's also helped customers to the car with the stuff that they bought from us as well, okay?

It's all about the community spirit guys and it's the same with buskers that's out there across the UK.

Please, if you don't like the busking, if you don't like what they're doing, walk on by.

You don't need to stop, do they Patrick?

They don't have to stop, it's not compulsory.

Right, there we are.
