Diary Of A Busker ~ Day 33
Diary Of A Busker Day 33 Friday January 28th Winchester High Street (opposite WH Smiths, Time: 1:05-2:05pm). Freezing cold with a steady wind, like yesterday, but I could only stand an hour and picked up virtually no money – just over £2. Even so, I managed to squeeze in The Third Man a few times.

Diary Of A Busker Day 29 Wednesday January 19th Winchester High Street (corner of Marks and Spencer, Time: 1:45 – 3:45pm). I say a quick passing hello to Frank, who’s accordion-ing it up opposite WH Smiths, and set up at the same place as last night.
