The Guitarist at the start of the video looks like Jim McCulloch from the Soup Dragons/BMX Bandits?

I've met the man behind the robot suit......he's a Legend....🫡

The robotics guy used to be outside the Savoy Centre every Saturday. Refreshing to see not one Eastern European playing the kid-on electric violin! Proper buskers and proper Glaswegians.

That robot was crap

How come all the people are Scottish?

i wasnt born till december 1984 great seeing how the city looked back then

How can s robot be sponsored by candleriggs market?😂😂

Anyone remember the old bloke who wore the tartan scarf often tied it around his guitar with 3 strings on it and had two teeth, only one song ( I’m putting on the agony I’m putting on the style 😂

Moving buskers along,the police should be charged.

Good memories, who remembers the scrambles at weddings 😂?

Far too young to be smoking.

Was the first clip a STUPID!!!! bible basher 😡😡😡😡 ( i couldn't quite understand what the hell he was babbling on about) Bible bashers are a WASTE of air Oxygen thieves & nothing more. I TOTALLY DESPISE these SCUM!!!! trying to force their 🐃💩 & lies down peoples throats.

Here's 8 yr later! ua-cam.com/video/wojaQk0ygfI/v-deo.html

This was In the days before buskers started using amplifiers.👍

Upload more, this was brilliant.

😂 This is one day before I was born. April 1st 84 lol

My old man caught me smoking when one of these clios appeared on stv

There were some brilliant busking acts in Buchanan St in 1984/85. I rember the two 'Egyptian' sand dancers especially. Whatever happened to them? Then there was the smiley old accordionist who played opposite Frasers main entrance for a couple of years.

Back in 1984 few people could afford video cameras and they could quickly attract a crowd if you were filming on the street. Great to see these buskers especially the robot- there were a couple of guys who performed as robots for many years and always gathered a large crowd. They were a big part of the fabric of life on the street during the 80s and become quite iconic in their own right. I wonder what happened to them- they must be knocking 60 now!

2:20 .... "… SILENCE IN COURT!… I SAY OLD BEAN!…"…🤕✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
