Diary Of A Busker Day 2354 Thursday April 25th 2024 Winchester. We’re back to 10 degrees or below so quite a cold day at The Buttercross. The sun was on me when I set up but I kept having to drag everything a foot or so to the right, as the shadow kept moving over me, which made it… Read more →

Day 2353
Diary Of A Busker Day 2353 Tuesday April 23rd 2024 Salisbury. It looks like I picked the wrong day to go to Salisbury.

Day 2329
Diary Of A Busker Day 2329 Thursday March 21st 2024 Winchester High Street. Rick Tarrant and his banjoist buddy are at the top spot and there’s a bloke a bit younger than me inbetween them and the crossroads – a bit to near for me to set up there, so after chatting with Don Lavelle at the crossroads (he’s… Read more →
