SPRING is busking out all over the Egerton area, as the town's top acoustic musicians add a second weekly gig to the area. In addition to their highly successful Sunday night sessions at the Cross Guns, Bolton's Buskers Ball will also be holding a regular Thursday event at the Dunscar Arms, starting tonight, from 8pm.

"Its nice to get out of the town centre and meet new faces" says a spokesman for the buskers. "Acoustic music has never been as popular and it's good to get music back to its roots."

The Buskers Ball also reveal that they will be heading up to Stirling Castle later this year to put on a special show for fans of Bob Dylan who will be playing there in July.

"Dylan has a lot of traveling fans from all over Europe and the USA and we're extremely pleased that we've been given the go-ahead to put on a pre-gig show for them in one of the

town centre bars.'says the spokesman.

Admission to both Buskers Ball events is free, and all musicians are welcome to get up and play.
