Jenny has street cred

19 Oct, 2010 12:00 AM
FLEMINGTON musician Jenny Biddle is Melbourne's best busker.

Biddle took out the title at a charity event at City Square earlier this month as part of Melbourne Music Week.

She was one of the city's 1400 registered buskers invited to

belt out their favourite tunes at the square. The winner was determined by how much money was tossed their way.

Biddle's acoustic version of the Michael Jackson classic Billie Jean was a crowd favourite.

"I was honoured to take out the title - the crowd busted out the moonwalk to my bluesy version of Billie Jean - it was great.

"Melbourne has such a thriving busking scene, I do a lot of gigs around Melbourne but love busking," Biddle said.

"Music really is about engaging people."

The quest to find Melbourne's best busker was a Street Change charity event, run by the Rotary Club of Melbourne Park, in conjunction with the City of Melbourne.
