Diary Of A Busker Day ~ 36

Diary Of A Busker Day 36 Wednesday February 2nd Winchester High Street (next to Accessorize, Time: 12:30 – 3:30pm). Another new location, in front of a big old brown wooden door that looks like it has not been opened for many a year. I am hoping it remains in this state for my duration. I like this door. I feel… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker ~ Day 35

Diary Of A Busker Day 35 Monday January 31st Winchester High Street (opposite Clinton Cards, Time: 2:25 – 4:25pm). Spent ten minutes deciding where I should set up – opposite Smiths or further down.

A man comes up after… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 31 Thursday January 25th Winchester High Street (opposite WH Smiths, Time: 1:45 – 3:15pm). Played for an hour and a half with a four minute break after the hour, during which I counted the money – just under £10. So far so good, but made nothing over the next half hour. It then started raining,… Read more →

Another double header, as the first session took so little money – £6 in an hour and a half. And I was robbed, again. A young guy walks past, doesn’t look… Read more →
