'Xylophone Man'
Frank Robinson
Frank dies in July 2004 aged 72.
He played his xylophone here for 15 years,
bringing a smile to the faces of the
people of Nottingham.'
Odd, but it's now that I no longer live in Nottingham that I notice this plaque on the ground outside H&M (formerly C&A), near where he played very amateurishly on what his Wikipedia entry calls a 'small child's metallophone'. In spite of his obvious lack of trained musical skills (or maybe because of the lack) Frank was dearly loved by those who went by him in Lister Gate. The LeftLion paper got a short interview with him, where it was discovered that he'd spent all his life in Cotgave, Nottinghamshire.
