From CBC PEI:
A nine-year-old busker is stealing the spotlight at The Guild in Charlottetown this summer.
Luka Hall scored the gig after his fiddle teacher introduced him to The Guild executive director Alanna Jankov, who spoke to his mother and asked him to act as the busker-in-residence for the summer.
"So far since it's started, it's been an amazing success for both The Guild and Luka," Jankov told CBC Radio One's Mainstreet P.E.I.
Luka plays once a week for now, but once school is over he'll be booked four or five times a week.
He says the crowds have been complimentary so far, even though he's only been playing for about three years. He plays jigs and reels with the occasional step dance thrown in for good measure.
"I really like older people, because they're really polite," he said.
The tips have been good, and Luka says he's planning to buy an iPad with his summer money.
