Diary Of A Busker Day 408 Tuesday July 16th Winchester High Street (1. Opposite Bellis, Time: 12:12-1:12pm, 2. Opposite Oxfam, Time: 1:23-2:26pm, 3. Opposite Bellis, Time: 2:50-4:10pm). There are four Greenpeace charity blokes, or, to use that silly modern word – chuggers, all quite close together, around the Butter Cross area. As I plonk my bags down, the one with… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 407

Diary Of A Busker Day 407 Monday July 15th Winchester High Street (Opposite Oxfam, Time: 2:18-3:05pm). A few hours before I went in to play – only a short set as there’s a lesson at 3:45 – there were a few about, including the 2 ukelele girls, and also some kid with a violin, raking it in. In fact, I… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 406

Diary Of A Busker Day 404 Friday July 12th Winchester (1. Next to The Slug And Lettuce, Time: 12:47-2:24pm, 2. Opposite Oxfam, Time: 2:40-3:05pm). In the morning I saw sax-busker Tony working in Sainsbury’s. He was saying I should try out a couple of other places, like Farnborough – near the Carphone Warehouse, Fareham and Weymouth (I’m not going there).… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 403

Diary Of A Busker Day 403 Thursday July 11th London (1. The Queen’s Walk, South Bank, Time: 5:21-5:55pm, 2. Hungerford Foot Bridge, Time: 6:17-6:39pm). Seeing as I had to come up to Westcombe Park to see Gary and sort out some song/CD stuff, I thought I’d (again) do a spot of playing further up the river. In particular, somewhere on… Read more →
