Street Music in the London Underground

It is an autumn morning in London, and the beginning of a new day's work for [NAVN A]. Along with millions of other people, the 18 year old finn walks down to the underground to start today's work. But as soon as Mikkola has arrived on the underground's platform, he pulls up his trumpet and is already at work. It is a hard work both for the feet and the pride, but Mikkolas spirit does not seem to suffer any damage. ”London is the best place”, he says, while he is watching the passengers' faces. You can not earn money in the underground of New York or Paris, but the Londoners' attitude to the youth is very friendly. On a 10hour day at work, Mikkola can make as much as £30. The idea is just not Mikkolas. To survive and every day be able to buy some bread at the baker and some meat at the butcher, more than 500 young musicians from all over the world plays in the underground of London. They play everything from the guitar to the harp. Mikkola and manyof these foreigners spend the coldest months of the year in the warm of the underground. But it is not enough to be able to play and sing. You got to have an actor's ability to look innocent, if the cops is showing up. [NAVN A] has decided to stay in England for three years, after that he does not know what to do. This is many young people's situation today. Because of unemployment they feel restless and without a future.
