Denmark Street 1951 - Pathé News

It's amazing to see this film in all it's glory.
Faces from a different age where music was sold as songs. Offices all along Denmark Street housed a piano and singers of all styles. Some a re still remembered today as they went on to greater things. Some 'one hit wonders' of the day have gone into obscurity, such is the way with the music industry. This is over ten years before the beat generation, Mersey Sound, Pirate Radio. As you can see a much gentler age....

 

 

 

Yngwie Malmsteen - Busking in Denmark Street?

Some say he's the best guitarist in the world!
Yngwie Malmsteen took time out of his busy schedule to do a bit of busking in Denmark Street.
It's May 2005, this film taken on a mobile captures the moment.
I think he managed to busk up enough for a beer...
