I was born in 1984 just a few months after this video was made but I still remember the robot guy from the late 80's/early 90's. One of those things that stick with you for life.

Fabulous video, I was 13 then, everyone went to the town on a Saturday, this was our life. Glasgow city centre is like a graveyard now, full of undesirables.

This is fantastic, it felt like I took a trip back to better times. Thank you for uploading this!

wow, aye remember the robot guy he was brilliant 👍

I remember a couple of these buskers from back then. There was a guy in Buchanan Street who played a fantastic slide guitar and I also remember a great Rockabilly band that played outside Boots in Sauchiehall Street.👍🎸

I remember every Saturday just past aArgyle Street train Station there was a guy doing Al Jolson he was brilliant , and 2 buskers used to come down the Barras doing 60s songs they were fantastic just outside the Hawaiian Grill less tha 20 feet from Bairds pub everybody was signing along all the Stall holders and all of us a never ending sing song wee Bertie the "Calton Gangster" hanging out his window and his wee hat on right above the Sarry Heid,feeding his dog a link sausage,in the Sarry Heid where we used to buy their famous Shammy by the gallon wee Bertie used to go into Bairds pub, the Sarry Heid and get an ashtray of Guiness, for his wee dog, mental days indeed 😅😅😅😅😅 non stop laughter now their all blue tooths in their ears talking 💩to themselves trying to be A.I kid on buisness people, help ma boab 😁😁😁😁😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I remember the 2 whistle guy but he rarely played as coherently as that.

Think it is Sauchiehall Centre,been there in November 1990

All changed these days, hearing another Scottish accent is rare

I use to love watchn robot guy was awsum

That guy at 3:30 with the violin will be dead now 😮😢 and so many younger people in 50s and 60s!

When Glasgow was great and not full of wee bams

Where's the bang on boogie band? ( A one man band who was in Argyle st a lot)

Anyone remember the 1 man band busker on buchanan street? Long haired dude with the bass drum..used to sing..play acoustic and harmonica..the crowds he used to pull were big..i remember the old whistle player here and the robot dude, brilliant upload..memories..amazin..peace❤

Our High street were hoching back then.

The good old days before the internet (sorry YT). Bustling City Centre and shops thriving.

The Guitarist at the start of the video looks like Jim McCulloch from the Soup Dragons/BMX Bandits?

I've met the man behind the robot suit......he's a Legend....🫡

The robotics guy used to be outside the Savoy Centre every Saturday. Refreshing to see not one Eastern European playing the kid-on electric violin! Proper buskers and proper Glaswegians.

That robot was crap

How come all the people are Scottish?

i wasnt born till december 1984 great seeing how the city looked back then

How can s robot be sponsored by candleriggs market?😂😂

Anyone remember the old bloke who wore the tartan scarf often tied it around his guitar with 3 strings on it and had two teeth, only one song ( I’m putting on the agony I’m putting on the style 😂

Moving buskers along,the police should be charged.

Good memories, who remembers the scrambles at weddings 😂?

Far too young to be smoking.

Was the first clip a STUPID!!!! bible basher 😡😡😡😡 ( i couldn't quite understand what the hell he was babbling on about) Bible bashers are a WASTE of air Oxygen thieves & nothing more. I TOTALLY DESPISE these SCUM!!!! trying to force their 🐃💩 & lies down peoples throats.

This was In the days before buskers started using amplifiers.👍

Upload more, this was brilliant.

😂 This is one day before I was born. April 1st 84 lol

My old man caught me smoking when one of these clios appeared on stv

There were some brilliant busking acts in Buchanan St in 1984/85. I rember the two 'Egyptian' sand dancers especially. Whatever happened to them? Then there was the smiley old accordionist who played opposite Frasers main entrance for a couple of years.

Back in 1984 few people could afford video cameras and they could quickly attract a crowd if you were filming on the street. Great to see these buskers especially the robot- there were a couple of guys who performed as robots for many years and always gathered a large crowd. They were a big part of the fabric of life on the street during the 80s and become quite iconic in their own right. I wonder what happened to them- they must be knocking 60 now!

2:20 .... "… SILENCE IN COURT!… I SAY OLD BEAN!…"…🤕✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
