Diary Of A Busker Day 2524 Friday April 11th 2025 Winchester.   Two days ago I had 18 year old student Alex Greenwood and two of his mates round the house to film me for a documentary Alex is doing on me. Today I’m meeting him at midday at The Buttercross so he can film me playing there, that’s if… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 2523 Tuesday April 9th 2025 Southampton.   I don’t believe it. For once there’s no one playing in the middle spot, opposite the West Quay entrance, so it’s mine, all mine.

The Square, usually dead during weekdays, is now being repopulated, I assume this is… Read more →

Dairy Of A Busker Day 2518 Monday March 31st 2025 Southampton.   Back again where it all started. Literally, because due to a young Spanish bloke halfway up the street, stumbling through Cavatina (we’ve all been there, mate!), I’m up at the top of the road, where Day 1 took place in October 2010. At least the sun’s out and… Read more →
