Pluck Me!

Three years ago there was a new and exciting addition to the busking musicians on the High Street.
A trio, who seemed to be drawing large crowds.

Fighting for a better vantage point behind all the tall people. I commandeered a bollard from some small child and watched with fits of laughter as Jon, Adrian and Sian a.k.a Pluck went through their classical music repertoire, with all the right comedy moments.
From then on I was a converted Pluck fan. At every opportunity whether busking or performing on the stages on the High Street. I got photographs.
There was one time last year I spotted a woman walking down the High Street with a Boa Constrictor round her neck. Ran off found Adrian, convinced him of the possible photo opportunities, and we both headed off in hot pursuit. Adrian charming a snake. Great idea!

Pluck are fantastic. Adrian has called me every so often finding out how things are progressing on the Exhibition front. With ideas to help me raise money. Money what’s that. "I’ve never run this exhibition to make money, it’s always been about the fun of people enjoying my photography.

Emily the manager of the pub was let loose with one of my cameras that first year. Nearly all the photos she came back with were of Pluck. "We have to have them perform here, in the pub ." After a little convincing, a few beers anyway we had secured another pub first. Pluck performing.

Last year was one of their busiest Fringe calendars; they were performing all over the place. As well as the time they spent promoting their shows on the High Street.

This year their Fringe schedule seems a little more "relaxed."
Don’t miss them whatever you do. No one performs the "classics" like Pluck.

Pluck are back for 2006!
