Policeman put 10 Kunas into my uke case and said "sorry but you have to stop"

"BIG" crowd today in Zagreb, Ban Jelacic Square,the main square.
                                           The video is a bit "white out" due to frost on the lens.


The man with the big hoover turned up again mid song, and all the way from Glasgow too.



 A very enthusiastic and complimentary crowd today. After a while Dad notice a lone policeman standing back at the side of the crowd. We finished the set and Dad nodded to him. He came over and before he spoke he dropped a 10 Kuna note into the uke case. He said that we have to stop because we did not have a licence and he was sorry and he enjoyed my music very much. He looked too young to be a policeman. We saw him later and Dad asked if we might be OK playing in another square later in the evening. He again said he was sorry to have had to stop us but apparently someone had complained that we were too loud and he was sent from the station to stop us. He said it was probably another busker who was "jealous" but he had to act. I said I would keep the volume down and try another square, he would not be working in the evening and we could try it.
Actually it was too cold later to play, about 5 degrees. We are feeling the cold having been spoilt over the last few months.
