London, UK. 9th April, 2014. Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London and rising pop star and busker Luke Friend at the official launch of this year's Mayor's Gigs busking competition and #BackBusking, a campaign set up to support buskers playing throughout London. The Mayor is concerned that some areas in the Capital could become no go areas for buskers due to mandatory licensing and increased red tape. Buskers can potentially face large fines as a result prohibitive legislation. Credit: Pete Maclaine/Alamy Live News
