Acoustic guitar player James Ryan, a 40-year-old, and 39-year-old Andrew Cave -- who used garbage can lids to accompany Ryan -- were banned from busking by a judge at Birmingham Magistrates' Court.
The pair are barred from entering the Birmingham suburb of Moseley Village and from playing musical instruments there.
The council says both men are also banned from begging anywhere in England or Wales.
