Diary Of A Busker Day 404

Diary Of A Busker Day 404 Friday July 12th Winchester (1. Next to The Slug And Lettuce, Time: 12:47-2:24pm, 2. Opposite Oxfam, Time: 2:40-3:05pm). In the morning I saw sax-busker Tony working in Sainsbury’s. He was saying I should try out a couple of other places, like Farnborough – near the Carphone Warehouse, Fareham and Weymouth (I’m not going there).… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 403

Diary Of A Busker Day 403 Thursday July 11th London (1. The Queen’s Walk, South Bank, Time: 5:21-5:55pm, 2. Hungerford Foot Bridge, Time: 6:17-6:39pm).

I say no, but I do, and… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 400 Monday July 8th Winchester High Street (Opposite Oxfam, Time: 2:04-3:03pm). Another landmark day – another hundredth, and for once on a hundredth day I’m in Winchester. I’ve almost finished setting up – I’m sitting down and tuning up, when I hear a whining sound – a violin, I think. I look around but can’t… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 399

Diary Of A Busker Day 399 Sunday July 7th Winchester High Street (Opposite Vodafone, Time: 4:15-5:35pm). Just a ‘short’ hour and fifteen minutes session as I was out for awhile yesterday.
