Remembering a legendary advocate of the streets

NB

Nick Broad

Founder, The Busking Project

"Jonny was a pure reasoner, a man of ethics, he was a mover of people, inspired and inspiring. He mixed philosophy, rights, logic and specific policies with ease. Buskers act as civic lighthouses. We give directions. We break up fights. We call the police when we spot trouble. We talk to the lonely. We are an integral part of the ecology of the street."

"Jonny didn't just play music; he fought for the right of everyone else to do the same. He was a barrister of the streets, defending our cultural commons with every breath."

— Fellow Performer

"His legacy isn't just in the laws he helped change, but in the thousands of performers who now stand on street corners without fear, knowing they have a right to be there."
