As an area synonymous with street performance and musical heritage, Super Busking has found its natural home in Covent Garden and was so successful last year that it has returned bigger and better for 2009.
Other acts that have performed as part of Super Busking include Athlete, Jamie Cullum and the Feeling.
Playing underneath Covent Garden’s beautifully crafted giant snowflake decorations, intertwined with a bespoke light installation by arts and design collective United Visual Artists, the Super Busking pop stars will get everyone in the festive mood and singing along!
As well as Super Busking, Covent Garden’s A Very Merry Christmas offers old-fashioned nostalgia. Recognizing it has been a hard year for most, A Very Merry Christmas will provide a warm, traditional and family-focussed programme of events that will warm the heart and soul, while spreading Christmas cheer to all.
