Diary Of A Busker Day 2302 Wednesday January 31st 2024 Winchester High Street   Not too cold a day (10 degrees) but there’s quite a wind stirring up so it feels a bit colder than it should.  There was a bloke on a sax with backing tracks at the top spot and down near Sainsbury’s, a very loud generator, so… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 2298 Wednesday January 23rd Winchester High Street.   Down at the crossroads it’s not long before some disruption occurs.

But a contract is a bloody contract and I said I’d be up for it, weeks… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 2294 Sunday January 14th 2024 The Buttercross Winchester.   I had quite a good coinage day yesterday but it was bloody cold; just above freezing and it’s the same today. Yesterday I was down at the crossroads and managed an hour and it’ll probably be the same today. No one at the top spot so… Read more →
