Street musician

Dorchester again to the dentist!  Two fillings and a frozen mouth.  Walking down South Street strands of melodious music led me to this gentleman.  He appeared so happy and relaxed despite the rain.  I was wondering whether the man on the right was going to put some money on the cover but it was probably a receipt he was about to pocket!

Believe it or not the harp became the national instrument of England in the 14C beloved of all medieval kings and the triangular framed harp was in England before the Norman Conquest.
