Diary Of A Busker Day 2497 Friday February 14th 2025 Winchester.   Back home after my glorious day in Chichester yesterday (haha). It’s just as cold and windy but at least there’s no train fare to diminish the profits. I’ve managed to stitch the strap on the guitar case and it seems to be holding, which is good because if… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 2496 Thursday February 13th 2025 Chichester.   Back to Chichester and I’m not alone; there’s a piper taking a break in front of The Cross and Dean Dyson’s down East Street – I can’t see him but I can hear him.

Down at the bottom near the Bargate end, is Kai Choi and his dinner suit and violin…and halfway up and facing the… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 2491 Wednesday February 5th 2025 Chichester.   Back to Chichester for the first time in I don’t know how long, maybe even a year. There’s a bloke with a mobile hot dog/burger stand in front of The Cross – I don’t want to set up right in front of him so I walk down North… Read more →
