We promised you this when we shared Tuesday's video of Blackpool Town Centre in Tier 3 (watch that one here: Here's Andy Blind Guitarist - Busking in a quiet Tier Three Blackpool town centre. To be fair it was only about 10.30am and he'd just set up at Bank Hey Street at the foot of the Blackpool Tower. Filmed Tuesday 20 October 2020 - Blackpool has just gone into Tier Three coronavirus restrictions. Enjoy five minutes of Dire Straits Walk of Life with Andy blind guitarist. He's an amazing musician who brings the town centre to life, wherever he goes busking. You might have seen him playing at Fleetwood Tram Sunday, and other big events. For a donation you can also buy cds of his music.
I'd had a chat with him first before he started playing and I started filming. He also commented how quiet it is. It's supposed to be - coronavirus cases are rising rapidly but it's very strange to see when October half term is usually so busy and instead it's a quiet Tier Three Blackpool.
(Please note: he is known locally as Blind Andy and 'blind guitarist' is not intended to be offensive or a comment about his disability, rather a description so you know who we mean. Just like you'd describe anyone by their most obvious feature, whatever that may be. In my case 'tired looking, white middle aged woman talking to herself with a camera' 😆).
