Diary Of A Busker Day 24 Monday January 10th Winchester High Street (opposite Phase Eight, Time: 12:35 – 2:50pm). A cold, windy (making it even colder – VERY colder!) and depressing day. I took just over £14 for 2 1/2 hours of non-stop playing. Nothing to report apart from getting three £2 coins and a man who said “Everytime I… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker ~ Day 23
Diary Of A Busker Day 23 Saturday January 8th Winchester High Street (opposite WH Smiths, Time: 1:35 – 5:05pm). Three and a half hours with only two short breaks of no more than 5 minutes.

Diary Of A Busker ~ Day 19
Diary Of A Busker Day 19 Friday December 31st Winchester High Street (opposite Clinton Cards, Time: 1:15 – 5:15pm). Set off to do an hour but ended up doing four.
