Temple, a session musician who played with Les McQeen in Creme Brulee during the 1980’s, spoke to KHN outlining the plan.

“Rules include no heavy metal, no freedom songs and strictly no “Work” by Rihanna”

“The problem is not busking but quality of busker’s. We are looking for more refined Muso’s. Fewer dreadful two-bob Marley impersonators and more Coltrane if you please,” said Stan Temple, music teacher at Knobble Hill Grammar School.

The five point-plan is as follows

1. Temporarily ban all busking.

2. Would-be entertainers must apply to the town council for busking licenses.

3. Licenses issued free of charge however all buskers must go through an audition before receiving a license.

4. Strict rules must be followed to retain license

Rules: No Christmas Carol’s outside of December. No freedom songs (read Bob Marley); No heavy metal; Adhere to the designated no-busking zones; Strictly no “Work” by Rihanna.

5. Residents may report any breach to the council.
