Unlikely but:

did anyone else watch the Peruvian( i assumed) Indian street musicians performing in Market Square Wigan today? I watched them for half an hour and they were amazing. Has anyone seen them anywhere else and what is their name, they seemed to have a CD in a suitcase behind them but they were performing the whole time and so i didn;t get to see what it was.

[No,Knowledge]

is there a lot of AB posters from Wigan then?

[dot.haukes]

One or two, but i am working on the idea that these Peruvian Indians have not just travelled 3000 miles for half a day's gig in Wigan!!!!!! Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[joggerjayne]

As luck would have it, I was in Wigan today !!

[carrot99]

try your council dot, they may have issued the dancers with some sort of performance licence..

[joggerjayne]

Oh, okay ... not really.

Isn't Wigan rather further north of Horsham than you're actually comfortable with, Jayne?

co-incidentally, I saw some of these dancers/panpipers in Horsham and Crawley a few years ago.

mushroom did they have very large headdresses made of brightly coloured feathers that went all down their backs? they looked amazing, i recorded some of it on my mobile.

[mushroom25]

yes they did. my daughter now tells me she has mobile footage of them in Portsmouth from last year.

[joggerjayne]

Mushroom .. Yes !!!

They've done a gig at covent garden too.

Then again, could be a franchise I suppose.....

[No,Knowledge]

and what about the theory that the Peruvian Indians i saw last year may not be the same Peruvian Indians you saw today and in fact there may be more Peruvian Indian street musicians than just them you saw in Wigan today.


i doubt your Peruvian Indians are the real McCoy if they only travelled 3000 miles i bet they were Irish

i saw them, i thought the 4th pan piper was slightly off key and the man banging the drum must have had severe myoclonus.

Hi dot,
I think they've played on Market street in Manchester, they are very good!
I like the 'Hoochie Coochie' man who plays in Manchester! x

[Eve]

I'm sure I've seen them in Manchester too, they are great.

Which one is the hoochi coochi one? Is that the blind guy with the dog or the other older guy who's down there all the time?

[dot.haukes]

They are very very good, i wonder if their CD is available anywhere else, actually i will check out the wigan library across from the store and see if they have any info, they are usually very good at stuff like that.

[Postdog]

Well if not them, I am sure somewhere you can obtain a CD of South American Ethnic stuff

...I was too busy walking the whippets...
