Salamanca Market has set places where people can get permission from Hobart City Council, to busk. Some have regular gigs, some are (I think) random. Over the years, there have been favourites of mine - like the harp player, George Callaghan, and Arauco Libre, the South american group (mostly Chilean, I think), and now the cousins who play irish music. And there are those buskers who drive the local stall-holdrs crazy.
