Happened to a banksy near me and they hired a 24/7 security guard and a plastic wall thingy to protect it

Weird as fuck. Shit job for that security guy too

I'm pretty certain Russians are allowed in Great Yarmouth.

That's nothing.

Here in Nottingham, last year, a Banksy that was painted on the wall of a house, all the bricks were chopped out and sold by the owner of the wall

I read that Banky has a website that gives provenance to his work and someone who ripped one down but it was worthless because Banky did not say it was his work. I do not know if it's true but I like the story

No, he will probably get a bit of kick out of the publicity..... More so if it was one of his political pieces!

However he occasionally does his Artworks as gifts to charitable causes, and if one of these was devalued, it would probably annoying him.

Banksy’s work is great. I love talent like that - and he’s far from alone. I’d rather see artistic graffiti than someone spraying ‘Sarah has a big fanny’ or ‘Jim is a twat’

I have never understood the whole banksy thing to be fair. Graffiti is just graffiti right? I have seen some very talented graffiti artists have their work covered up but banksy gets a free pass. What make his work so special?

Sorry! I was a bit cheeky with my reply guessing you'd reply with Massive Attack.

I'm a sound engineer and have worked with the band and its numerous musicians a few times over the decades and its a cool conspiracy theory but Banksy isn't a member of MA. There are a couple of 'examples' of Banksy art appearing where MA has played but what they don't mention is they were days even weeks after. On the road we only stay put in one place hours, maybe a day at most.

Do I know who Banksy really is? No. I don't sorry.

I wasn't alive in 1970. Plus I'm assuming it might be football you are referring to? I've never seen a game ever so sorry can't help you there either.

I was a professional roadie for many years too and I can confirm Banksy isn't a member of the band Massive Attack. Although I think there is evidence that both the band and the artist (or artists?) are from the Bristol area.

Well these days there are many courses and qualifications available from higher education colleges and even universities. So that is definitely one avenue for him to pursue.

However, the tried and tested way to get into it (and how I did it) is to simply work for your local venue(s). Be it live venues and/or recording studios. He has to be prepared to do anything and everything to do with putting a gig on or recording - even if its voluntary work or as proverbial 'tea boy' and sweeping up or whatever - and if he is keen to get on the avenues of opportunity WILL open. Someone will be short staffed for a tour or a session and your son will be asked to help out. And if he puts 110% in it and gets noticed he will get asked again... and again...

For what its worth I did just that. I hung around my Uni for a year after graduating working behind the student uni bar and putting gigs on. One night this band was on their UK tour and they needed someone to do the sound for the US leg and they asked me. A few days later I was in San Diego twiddling the knobs instead of good old blighty. I never looked back. I didn't even make it back to England for nigh on 18 months.

Hope that helps and wish your son every success in this often gruelling industry that is of course so much fun and so rewarding!

If he doesn’t have the initiative to find out and get his foot in the door, it is probably the wrong career choice. You need elbows to succeed in that sort of role
