Diary Of A Busker Day 2501 Monday March 10th 2025 Winchester.   Yesterday was a good day, with exemplary coinage/noteage and a minimum of mistakes after a long break and I’m hoping for a repeat performance today. The weather is again fine (it gets colder for the rest of the week, apparently) and the top spot is free, so that’s… Read more →

Diary of A Busker Day 2500 Sunday March 9th 2025 Winchester. My 2,500th day out, so a landmark day…and the first day back after a 12 day vacation without a guitar, so I’m wondering if I’ve forgotten anything.

This means I’ve got to head on down North Street, where I always seem… Read more →

Bloody hell, it’s that man again (as they used to say in the 1940s), walking up and down the high street, portable CD player in hand, headphones on, shouting at the top of his voice to whatever’s going on in his head. A few years ago I was asked… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker day 2493 Sunday February 9th 2025 Winchester. There’s a young couple at the top spot but amazingly, no Meeta down at the crossroads so I can set up there. It’s quite cold – around 6 degrees but thankfully no wind. Gareth turned up while I was about to start. He’s had some grief from some woman… Read more →
