Galway Bay fm newsroom - Galway's busking and street performance community are set to gather at the Spanish Arch this evening in opposition to recently passed bye-laws.
The new measures introduce a range of restrictions - including a ban on amplifiers before 6pm and the need for adult companions for those under 16.
This evening's event - entitled the 'Big Busk to Beat the Bye-Laws' - will take place at the Spanish Arch from 7 to 9pm.
Campaigners have been fighting the implementation of the measures for the past year and say they are 'restrictive' and 'prohibitive'.

Many buskers support some form of regulation - but some feel the current bye-laws are a threat to their livelihood.
