From Barclays to the university

A pretty protest

Following a rendition of Steve Tilston’s Pretty Penny at a regular music session in Le Bon Croissant café in Crouch End, London, one afternoon, the musicians had not had their fill. They decided to take the truth-telling ditty to serenade the staff at the local Barclays Bank also in Crouch End. With the lyrics referring to the banking system it seemed appropriate to use in a peaceful protest highlighting Barclays questionable practices.
