ASBO for buskers who only played two songs
A pair of buskers who repeatedly sang Oasis’s ‘Wonderwall’ and George Michael’s ‘Faith’ have been issued with Anti-Social Behaviour Orders.Magistrates dished out the ruling after hearing how the buskers infuriated people in the Moseley area of Birmingham by only playing the two songs, often till 3am in the morning.
More than 60 complaints were said to have been made to police about the duos playlist, excessive noise and abusive behaviour.
Except for the odd rendition of Faith, Wonderwall was clearly their favorite song, which they played pretty-much non-stop.
For it, one played the acoustic guitar, whilst the other accompanied him by banging on dust bin lids ... just like the Gallaghers intended.
The ruling means they are banned from entering almost all parts Moseley, playing a musical instrument in other areas of Birmingham and begging in England and Wales.
Councillor Ayoub Khan, Cabinet Member for Local Services and Community Safety, said: “I’m pleased that visitors and residents of Moseley will no longer be subject to this duo’s anti social behaviour. "
