Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Street musicians
After the endless accordion players - like living next door to the fairground - there has recently been a man playing fiddle through an amplifier under Harringay railway bridge. It's ear-splitting to walk past, and I feel sorry for the shopkeepers who have no choice but to listen - he plays all day, for hours at a time, and it can be heard right up my road because the bridge creates extra amplification.
Now that the weather is good and windows are open, the sound is even more of a constant unpleasant backdrop. I understand that busking is not itself illegal in Haringey, but surely blasting it through an amp is not allowed?

He's not the most gifted musician, Maddy, but I rather liked it as I walked past. It's like putting a soundtrack to Harringay.

Try listening to the same thing over and over for six hours....and then the next day...and the next.

I was reacting to what you wrote - It's ear-splitting to walk past, and I feel sorry for the shopkeepers who have no choice but to listen. However, I neglected to read "and it can be heard right up my road". If it's very audible in your home, then you have my sympathy. I wouldn't want it outside my front door, that's for sure.

If it can be heard from your house, that could be a case for the noise patrol, they have to stand in your yard to judge the degree of nuisance. She said curmudgeonly.

you could always talk to him and ask him to turn it down.
