judging by the nicotine on his tash i bet he never seen much action under the mistletoe
he's still alive then !!
fantastic Ged- thanks for finding those pictures - it saves me the job of searching for them.
I've got about 60 or 70 Liverpool characters saved to a folder all of their own but it's possibly not correct to post them on the web unless they're well known and street stars like plink plink.
Yes, he's still there. Still playing. Here's a photo of him from last year that I've put on the forum before.

In the past, his guitars (I think he changes them quite often) have always been plain, but last week I noticed the new coloured one with strings painted on.
Have you all heard John Dolan's song about him on the My Liverpool CD?
If you haven't, then you need to get to Paul's CD shop in St Johns Market. There are 3 My Liverpool CD's and I think Plinkety Plink is on CD1.

Does anybody remember the black man who used to sell the echo outside what would now be HMV on Bold Street? I'm sure his name was Chris. He was a really great bloke. I remember when we finally saw the back of Thatcher in 1990 he was singing "Maggie Maggie Maggie - out out out!!" Then I think he passed away sometime in the mid 90's (but I could be wrong about the date). Apparently he used to save his money up so he could give kids presents at Christmas - he used to wear a Santa outfit as well when he was selling the echoes. I thought they should have put a plaque up to honour him - but I suppose that is too much to ask with this council...
