Every year the city of Christchurch hosts a busker festival. This is a popular event drawing a huge audience daily throughout this week. The artists are from international and may present songs, comical acts, acrobatics, or all of these together! A very enjoyable event and always attract big crowds.

The guy I photographed here was hilarious, presenting himself as Freddie Mercury, telling jokes and singing well known songs from the pop group Queen. He had everyone in hysterics. At the end of his 30 minute act he threw himself into and "on top of" the audience and cleverly had the audience take turns in moving him along above them until he had completed a full circuit of the arena.

Awesome act - creating alot of laughter for alot of people. TFV.

Hi Martyn,
Buskers festival hé. Well I still have some pictures to show of the 2009 event. Anyway, great action picture , due the 1/60 sec suffering of a bit motion blur, but it creates a special mood too. Fine posting Martyn, glad to see it here on TL!

Awesome shot for the theme Martyn! Very humorous and well timed. Great clarity, shame about the motion blur, but the guy crowd-surfing seems quite sharp for the most part. Well cropped, looks like a fun moment.

TFS,
Scott.
