What amazing work the organisers have done again this year, outdoing their already brilliant efforts. It was a pleasure to play, to listen and just to be around the town, transformed by music.

Was absolutely fabulous the atmosphere was one of community and fun food for the soul :)

This is the ideal opportunity to support a worthy cause, put Shrewsbury on the music map and have as much fun as you can. Remember to give a little money and participate. 'The World's Biggest Percussion Band' needs you to bring something to hit on Sunday 5th at Saint Chads Church.

Thanks guys - it was a wonderful weekend. I had 20 people through my house yesterday. From 2 months old to late 60s. Band practice and refreshments so much fun for all.

So honoured to know the people behind this. A fantastic even that you can't help but fall in love with

Shrop Rocks had a fantastic day Saturday! What you guys have created is just wonderful! I just loved the atmosphere of the town! musicians everywhere, everywhere I looked there were people walking holding instruments, the diversity of young kids to old and all the different styles and genres of music! it was an amazing feeling of togetherness

Shrewsbury is a great town and when stuff like this is on it makes it even better! Love it and more of it....Like someone also commented perhaps a programme of times of performers and where they're playing.....not too hard to co-ordinate......Bring it on again!!!

Our band COALTRAIN are so happy to help out again this year , such a wonderful cause , we are very much looking forward to this year ,

please everyone come and support this great event , you won't regret it ! ūüéľūüéľūüéľūüéľūüéľūüéłūüéļūüé∑ūü•ĀūüéĽū üé§ so much talent in one place ūüėä

Love love the Big busk, such a beautiful gathering with such Genuine talented people. Count me in every year !Xx

Looking forward to playing in the Darwin Centre again this year with the Shropshire Ukulele Massive for this great cause.ÔŅĹ

I can't even express what an amazing event this was, what an amazing amount of talent captured in our lovely town of Shrewsbury, if I had one criticism it would have to be that the event wasn't on for a couple more days, cannot wait for next year

Had a great fun morning with our toddler kazoo orchestra from mini mammoths , run the museum and Nesscliffe House Nursery school playing , nursery rhymes and children's songs . They loved it . And we raised money for a great cause .- never too young to perform !

From the first tweet to the 3rd year.... Every drop of big Busk loveliness is to be savoured! Never been so proud and honoured to live in Shrewsbury. Incredible organisers, support, artists and crew.

Can't get over how much shrewsbury came alive this weekend, I'd give 10 stars if I could, real spirit to this event, must keep happening!

Be very proud of what you achieved yesterday. I popped my busking cherry, met lots of cool people and ended the day playing one of those tiny sweatbox gigs that have that special buzz.

Another superb day, loved busking with Bridgnorth Ukulele Band and other clubs in the square, well done to all the organisers, roll on 2015 !!!!!

Another fantastic big busk, thanks to everyone who organised and all the great music and song.heartwarming.

A great event, very well managed and I must say a huge thank you for letting me be part of it.

3rd year running and just the perfect weather, setting and atmosphere. Well done to Karen Higgins and all her colleagues that put on the perfect tribute to Ben and show what Shrewsbury hospitality is all about. Leo Golden Child and I will always support your cause xx See you next year ... might even doing a few songs myself for you xxx
