Diary Of A Busker Day 494
Diary Of A Busker Day 494 Tuesday January 14th 2014 Winchester (Opposite Oxfam, Time: 3:27-4:12pm). A depressing 45 minutes in which the total earnings came to less than half the usual hourly rate.

And I never see… Read more →

There’s a guy banging on a guitar and singing. He’s got a P.A. and he’s way too loud. I go through the alleyway, past the restaurants. I could set up here: there are a few… Read more →
