The Plumber Drummer  -  Nothing to Do with Brexit

Today my son and I were in Kingston.  A young man was busking :playing a drum made out of drainpipes, hitting it with a flip flop.  He was amazing.  Or as my son said “Epic”.  virtually everyone watching gave him money and he got a round of applause.I googled Plumber Drummer and there are clips of him playing.  His name is Nathan Robinson and someone should put him on Britain’s Got Talent.  He was by the entrance to the shopping centre, look out for him.

Just watched him on YT. He's fantastic! 👏🏻 Very inventive and I wondered what gave him the idea in the first place.🤔 I wish him well.

Glad you enjoyed it, Sue.He is evidently a full-time busker from Yorkshire and travels around the country.  Well, Kingston are in luck this week.  I hope he comes to Putney.good luck to him!

If your son enjoyed a busker doing that, you should take him to see the show 'Stomp!' if it reappears in London, or any performance by the Blue Man Group. Look them up on Youtube!

Sean, great suggestions.  My son is learning to drum and I think he would enjoy both .  Stomp seems to be ending its lengthy London run in the New Year.myself, I love it when groups have more than one drummer, but I can’t abide lengthy drum solos.Bunny, glad you enjoyed too.
