Torquay home to some of region’s best buskers
Star Lawson won the title of Geelong’s Best Kid Busker last month and will perform in front of a crowd of 20,000 at this year’s tree lighting on the Waterfront, Geelong.
THE Easter holidays saw kids from the Surf Coast have a crack at competing in busking competitions, including Geelong’s Best Kid Busker competition presented by Steve Thew Music in partnership with Central Geelong.
Hosted along Little Malop Street, Torquay’s Star Lawson won first place against strong competition. Star played on her cajon drum box while singing songs including Lady Gaga’s “You and I”. The judges said Star was a “true busker”.
Star’s win means she will play in front of 20,000 people at the lighting of the Geelong Christmas tree on the Waterfront in November.
Torquay youngster Finnigan August played at the Kilmore Regional Busking Championships on April 13 and scored first place overall and the people’s choice award.
The competition was hosted in partnership with the Australian National Busking Championships.
Finnigan writes his own music and plays the guitar, the stomp box and the harmonica.
