Busking is a term used to describe street entertainers such as us The Free Radicals . Busking has been frowned on in some areas because of the mistaken imagery of a down and out, putting his or her hat out for money ala: begging this could be not further from the truth of the way it is.
Busking has been a starting point for many an international star whose talent and undoubtedly hard work was finally recognized with the “big break” at some point in their busking endeavours.
By and large, Buskers are creative entrepreneurs who are willing to take the opportunity to practice their Busking craft with a calculated return based on the audience generosity to support them in doing the thing they love. Street entertainers add colour and fun to what could otherwise be a cold and lifeless event.
We are available for events as buskers playing Australiana / Celtic upbeat music or for hire for special events and themed functions.
Prices scale from $200 performance fees within a 100 k radius for a day/evening event with additions being fuel, accommodation for longer entertainment events, additional karaoke, or master of ceremony duties.
Please contact us for availability and pricing if you have an event that needs upbeat lively all age-friendly entertainment. Community functions, Street entertainers concessions are available.
