Belgian Street Musicians Flourish in War-Torn London
Belgian musicians now dominate London streets as a new, better funded street music surge replaces beggars. Professionals, often from Belgium, push wheeled pianos and perform solo or with voices or violin. They offer high quality programs, vary by district from lighthearted Latin quarter to classical west end, and some conceal identity with a domino. They are respected as respectable victims of wartime conditions and are paid modestly.
