John Maughan The Boscastle Busker
The Boscastle Busker, John Maughan, has been singing in Boscastle's three pubs, The Cobweb, The Wellington and The Napoleon, for over thirty years. With his mellow baritone voice and a huge repertoire of songs, he is the catalyst that galvanises a roomful of people to sing for sheer pleasure. Harmonies rise and fall in a great organ of song! It is a magical experience! But even more magical is hearing him busking for charity, unamplified and unaccompanied, in the beautiful setting of Boscastle harbour. It all began to honour a promise made to a friend, and so far he has raised over £13,000 for Mount Edgcumbe Hospice in memory of Morgie and our good times with our band The Damn Buskers! Look out for him at the harbour on summer Sunday afternoons - a unique experience!Gig - 23rd Feb 2008 at Ariel Arts centre,Totnes at 7.30pm- courtesy of Harberton Folk.
