The first ever Buskers and Street Performers Festival was held between 29 and 31 July 2008.
A wide mix of entertainment was spread around the city centre and on Christ’s Pieces, including bands and solo artists, dance acts, magicians and more.
A competition was run to find the most popular act, with members of the public voting for their favourite.
First prize went to Siyaya Arts, a music and dance group from Zimbabwe. Runners up were blues-playing duo Hot Lips & Chilli Fingers and indie group The Backs Band.
