Buskers Against Westfield Dawson Mall, Mount Druitt Outdoor music - Who Wins?

Well that is the question. For the last 2-3 months, Westfield Mount Druitt Centre Management are trying to provide a pleasant atmosphere outside the Centre, where they have  shops under the awning leading to the Mount Druitt Bus Interchnage, Taxi Stand and Train Station, from their exit/entry  to Dawson Mall.

I feel this is a trial period and I also feel if they play soft, pleasant music ( hot hard rock/heavy metal)  as they do inside the Centre then customer s will come back and  be in a happier mood to shop (especially with any specials on).

I have noticed that whilst this music is on, there is a scarcity of buskers on the non-Westfield part of Dawson Mall, Mount Druitt.

So, is this a good thing for the community? Some will say 'Yes', and some will say No' and the rest may not care!

According to a busker at Mount Druitt, the music coming from Westfield Mount, speakers with music in Dawson Mall is destroying Busking. This is when the community is listening to buskers signing and the background music can be annoying. Joel says, "People really enjoy and like listening to live music compared to radio aired music."

Personally, I notice that if and when the  the Westfield music is turned down, in volume and is not blaring, it can be soothing to listen too.  Yet, when the music is is on and there is a busker singing along the mall, the nice live music with amplifiers can overpower the Westfield music, which  can be heard failntly in the background.

Was the idea to shift these local musicians out of the area? I think not. I think it was to comfort shoppers along Westfield Mount Druitt's part of Dawson Mall. It is their right to do so externally, to also entice shoppers into their complex
 
What do you think? let us know. Is this music to your ears?

Do you think they should play Church/ religious music, classical  or jazz?
