Diary Of A Busker Day 61 Wednesday March 16th Winchester High Street (opposite WH Smiths, Time: 1:55-5:50pm). A cold and windy day, so it was back to normal or SNAFU, as they used to say in the war.

Diary Of A Busker ~ Day 59

Diary Of A Busker Day 57 Wednesday March 9th Winchester High Street (1. opposite Whittard, Time: 12-1:15pm, 2. opposite WH Smiths, Time: 1:25-3:30pm.)

A chaotic day spent zig-zagging about, playing in three different locations. An almost mild day, the sun was out but people were keeping their money to themselves. A man… Read more →
