Here´s an entertaining London busker I just found on Youtube; if he hits the big time, remember that you heard him here first:-

Dub FX has several self produced albums and is very popular in Europe and draws huge crowds. He performs almost exclusively as a busker. He is also the subject of a documentary film. He sells a lot of CDs via the internet and at street shows. It's amazing to watch Dub FX work his magic by overdubbing his own vocals using foot pedals as he performs:
There are several busker festivals held across the globe each year including the following: Ferrara Buskers Festival -|- Ferrara, Italy Halifax International Busker Festival -|- Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Lawrence Busker Festival -|- Lawrence, Kansas, USA San Diego Busker Festival -|- San Diego, California, USA Toronto BuskerFest -|- Toronto, Ontario, Canada Victoria Buskers Festival -|- Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Waterloo Busker Carnival -|- Waterloo, Ontario, Canada World Buskers Festival -|- Christchurch, New Zealand The most notable of all buskers was Woody Guthrie who frequently sang on street corners when he traveled the nation.

I like the Ted Hawkins song. I remember watching that Gillian Welch concert at St. Luke's on TV and was fortunate enough to to record it. I later burnt it to DVD too. Both Gillian and David were on top form that night, and Old Crow Medicine Show joined them at the end for a special cover of The Band's The Weight:

Hold On, It's Coming, a folk rock classic written and performed by Country Joe McDonald. The Incredible String Band perform The Half-Remarkable Question in a 1968 BBC television appearance. Wilco's Jeff Tweedy performs a beautiful cover of the Dylan classic A Simple Twist of Fate.

Thanks for posting Beeswing, it's a truly gorgeous song that I haven't heard for ages. 1952 Vincent Black Lighting is another Celtic tear jerker by Thompson. I'm told he plays the song at every live concert... I know for sure he played it at all three different show I saw him perform.
Yes that's Suzanne Vega and Loudon Wainwright III on stage trading songs with Thompson. I would have loved to seen that show live! From that same Songwriter's Circle concert is Loudon singing a awesome version of Dead Man:
