‘The Cambridge Buskers Collection’ CD Box Set, NSW - Australiaby Rob Howard |
 The Cambridge Buskers - Michael Copley (flute, recorder, ocarina, crumhorn) and Dag Ingram (48 bass accordion) – in the 1970s were students at Cambridge University who shared a passion for classical music. They began busking at folk clubs and in the streets, and went busking around Europe, where were fortunate to be spotted by Deutsche Gramophon, and offered them a recording contract. The duo made a highly successful career out of their busking, performed on radio and TV, toured the world performing the works of the great classical composers, and made several albums. Eventually Dag Ingram left, and was replaced by accordionist Ian Moore, and the new duo was renamed The Classic Buskers. ‘The Cambridge Buskers Collection’ 4 CD Box Set, digitally remastered and issued by the Australian record company Eloquence, contains the following albums: ‘Soap Opera’ (1982), ‘The Cambridge Buskers Handel Bach’ (1985), ‘The Explosive Sound of The Cambridge Buskers’ (1985), ‘Another Serious Album’ (1981), ‘Not Live From New York’ (1979), ‘A Little Street Music’ (1977), ‘Between Pub & Podium’ (1977), ‘King’s Parade’ (1978).
