Busking On The Bridge, St Ives, Cambs, with 3 String Cohiba Cigar Box Guitar

Had always fancied playing in one of the little alcoves on the bridge in St Ives and finally got round to doing it yesterday. Not very busy, but a beautiful spot....
Here's some info on the bridge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Ives_Bridge

Black Crow is from the album Out From The Shadows.
Pebbles is from the album Pass It On, and Playing (No Rules) is from the album of the same name. All are available here: http://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/
Filmed this on my phone (new one that does HD vid) Had it on a gorillapod, which I fixed to the neck of a guitar that was propped against the wall. Shortly after filming this, the wind blew it over. The back came off, battery flew out : -/ Luckily it still works...

Nice one, Belinda.  It's a great location - maybe you can get the keys to the little chapel and play in there during the rain :-)
