admin 21 Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 I picked this up in the newsgroups In case you haven't heard, Nottingham's most legendary busker Frank Robinson, aka the Xylophone Man died last Sunday night. For thousands of people in the city this marks the end of an era. There will be no more smiles and musical accompaniement from Frank to accompany your Nottingham city centre shopping trips... and, sadly, Nottingham's most legendary busker never got quite the recognition that he perhaps deserved, within his lifetime. He played his Xylophone on in Nottingham for over 15 years and seemed to love every moment of it. His final performance in the city centre was on the afternoon of the day he died...

mick2me 3,033 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 A facebook entry reminded me of Frank. Is it really 9 years since he sat playing the Xylophone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor S 2,003 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 No worries mick2me........the only issue I had was hitching a ride on the Enterprise at warp factor 1. Apart from that. I was back home before my coffee got cold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
