I came across this performance by Steve Bean (no, I don't who he is either) and think it's something special.
Reminds me of our visit to them Thetford Collection. Anyone else been there.
When we first arrived, thought it would only take an hour or so to look round. Spent the whole day there.
Tom Hark. I was 7 years old when that was playing on the wireless!
The BoRhap covers, the fairground organ one I quite like, reminded me of Elvaston Steam Rally. The other, he plays all the right notes in the right order but like many cover versions of great songs doesn't convey any emotion or present a different take on the original.
Now here is the story of how I found the Steve Bean clip. It came up on the YT recommendations after a search for washboard playing led me to street musicians which led to performances of BoRhap on pianos in railway stations.
For some reason whilst listening to these Queen covers I wondered, like you do, if Queen had ever performed Somewhere Over the Rainbow. YT searched and found an instrumental version that sounds a bit like Queen and also this clip of Popa Chubby (yes his name is a play on words and I know what it means) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vF5IDe3J4U
and impressed by his guitar playing then found his version of Jimi Hendrix's Hey Joe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW9G_9nZlSM
Enjoy

Here is another group popular when I was a teenager. OMG, memories.
A shocking piece of video I am afraid but wonderful to watch and hear.
Imagine for a moment The Dave Brubeck Quartet playing the Stranglers' Golden Brown. Well here it is, and the guy who did this explains how in the comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qs1J612nZs

Los Indios Tabajaras. Enjoyed that, but had to close my eyes to avoid the dreadful slide show. If only editors would stop using all those wipes to change scenes. Spoils a decent set of slides. Sorry, just the sort of thing that annoys me.
No need for a slide show with this one. I think we all know the venue and enjoy some of the performances that occur. Thought this was incredible from a 12 year old.
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
