Antony (musician): After such a long period off the instruments, it's just been such a wonderful time being able to go out and do what we love which is create music for the community and play in the streets again. It's something I don't think any musician will take quite for granted ever again and we appreciate every moment we've been able to do it for.

Audience member 1: I think having musicians in the street, it's just a very nice sound to listen to.

Audience member 2: I think the musicians are outstanding.

Paul (musician): It's been really lovely to be able to bring this music to the streets and play outside particularly of course coming off the back of a couple of years when this was just not something you would ever see, live music in any form during COVID.

When things first started to open up it was just wonderful to see people so responsive and so excited to see us play and of course we were just as excited too because it was such a great opportunity for us to play after so long.

Audience member 3: Very enjoyable, when we were backpacking around Greece the owner used to wake us up in the morning with the piano accordion at six o'clock in the morning so it brought back really good memories, so it was lovely.

Audience member 4: Great music, the blokes did a really good job and it's just making the local villages more attractive to attend.
