Busking comp set for The Entrance

Last year’s winners the James Brothers went on to win the national competition

The Central Coast regional heat of the National Busking Championships will take place at The Entrance on Sunday, September 24.

Buskers will be based around Marine Pde, spilling over to the pedestrian plaza and street corners.

A spokesperson said the stunning coastal location would provide the perfect backdrop for a day filled with music, entertainment and fun.

Musicians of all ages, skill levels and musical genres will be judged in three groups, and there will be the opportunity for the public to choose their favourites who will be in the running for the Public Choice award.

Buskers will be judged in three age groups; adult (18+ years), secondary (13-17 years) and primary (under 13 years).

The day will kick off at 9am with the music continuing until 4.30pm.

The spokesperson said response had been “fantastic” with about 20 entrants already registered.

Coast FM will conduct an outside broadcast on the day.

Organisers are looking for sponsorships for some categories and additional prizes.

Please make contact with your local Rotary club if you are interested in supporting a category or additional prize.
