EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Why sweet sue took to busking" captures the essence of a Portobello-road busker. Known for their tough and resilient nature, this particular busker breaks the mold by also exuding sweetness. Meet Susie Keeley, an 18-year-old American girl hailing from California, who found herself drawn to the world of busking when she couldn't secure a job in London. Susie believes that the swinging freedom offered by busking is its own reward. Rain or shine, nothing stops her from sharing her musical talents with passersby on the vibrant streets of Portobello Road. Well, almost nothing - except for policemen who constantly urge her to move along. It seems that even an American like Susie has discovered that our police force may not always be as wonderful as expected. Taken in December 1968, this snapshot perfectly encapsulates the spirit of street entertainment during the 1960s. With her guitar in hand and soulful voice ready to captivate listeners, Susie stands out amidst a bustling street scene filled with curious onlookers. This print serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era where talented individuals like Susie embraced unconventional paths and sought solace in artistic expression through music. The image beautifully portrays both resilience and vulnerability within one person's pursuit of passion against all odds.
