May 27 2009 by Matt Hurst, Birkenhead News

MUSICIAN Brian Lupton received a surprise during his Birkenhead buskathon, when a lady handed him £100 cash.

The guitarist played non-stop outside the Pyramids for four hours on Saturday May 16, to help raise funds for Wirral charity Claire House and Christian Aid.

The grandfather-of four said: “ One lady came up and gave us a £20 note with a clip on it.

“When we got back, we realised it was actually £100.

“I was singing at the time, but I’d love to know the reason why and the story behind that.

“I was quite shocked.”

Brian managed to raise a total of £330, despite the less helpful intermittent rain.
