Busking in Bristol bus station
The first band busking in Bristol bus station have entertained passengers on their morning commute.
Twinners performed covers of songs including Dreams by Fleetwood Mac, and Hometown Glory and Someone Like You by Adele.
Impressing judges at their audition, Twinners are just one of the artists who will be playing at the new official busking spot in the Marlborough Street bus station on Fridays and Saturdays.

Twinners feature identical twin sisters Sophie and Chloe on lead vocals, Joanna on guitar and Lydia on drums.
They follow in the footsteps of Ed Sheeran, Sheryl Crow and Rod Stewart, who all learned their trade busking before being talent-spotted.
“Bristol’s performing arts scene is one of the most vibrant in the country and we wanted to show our support for it in some way,” said First West of England operations director, Chris Hanson.
“We’ve all missed the thrill of listening to live music so we think our customers are going to love this as they pass through the station.”
