Jaimoe Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I was in Kensington Market late yesterday evening. I wouldn't call what I heard on the street and especially in the park "great music": a bunch of drum circles, a couple of busker-type bands wailing away endlessly on a two-chord beat. Still, it seemed like a good time for the tie-dyes and dreded folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
