A BAGPIPE busker said he often got a frosty reception from Bridgwater shopkeepers after a visit in 1988.

Shaun Cartwright, who visited the town during a nationwide busking tour, said while while he usually got a good response, particularly in Europe, shops in Bridgwater complained 'all the time'.

The 18-year-old was touring from his base in Patchway, Bristol.
