This 1985 photograph shows Shaky Jakes One Man Band performing on a London pavement, dressed head to toe in Union Jack colours and surrounded by an exuberant collection of homemade musical gear, signs and decorations. His setup includes guitar, harmonica, drum and percussion, all strapped into a traditional one-man-band arrangement, while a small dog sits patiently in front wearing a matching patriotic outfit with a collecting pouch. The hand-painted sign beside him advertises Shaky Jakes One Man Band & Busker Dog, adding to the improvised, eccentric charm of the act. It is a wonderful record of London street entertainment in the mid-1980s, capturing the kind of individual busking character that could turn an ordinary stretch of pavement into a memorable little performance space.
