"No it's not!" he said. "… it's 'Legion's Last Patrol'!"  

 

"Yes!" said I. "But both are the same tune; Ken Thorne and his band with Ray Davies playing trumpet and backed by The Mike Sammes Singers had a No 2 UK 'hit' in 1963 with 'Legion's Last Patrol' … and trumpeter Nini Rosso wrote and recorded "Concerto Disperato' - used as the theme tune for the film 'Legion's Last Patrol' starring Stewart Granger in the same year."  

 

Taken with recently acquired Sony A7S / 35-70 f4 R.

A little further on a Spanish gentleman was busy with his Galacian Gaita - a Spanish bagpipe. Busy because his reeds were not playing well so he kept changing/adjusting them - maybe the weather was not being kind to the reeds - he had a whole tinful.

… and at the top end of the High Street another busker earning a few shillings was actually booked by the lady enjoying his music to play at her wedding anniversary.
