Diary Of A Busker Day 498 Tuesday January 21st 2014 Winchester (Opposite Vodafone, Time: 2:30-3:30pm). A very cold day – at least I’m only going for an hour or so…so, I can take it!…I think. I’m not helped much, though, by some little girl, who, during the first song, shouts ‘What are you doing?!’, as she walks by with her… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 497
Diary Of A Busker Day 497 Sunday January 19th 2014 Winchester (The Butter Cross, Time: 1:32-3:32pm). Wow! – a session right bang in front of the famous Butter Cross! I haven’t been here in months, I’m sure. All I can say is I must have been in a(n unusually) confident frame of mind…which unfortunately morphs into awful self-consciousness as soon… Read more →
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.

Diary Of A Busker Day 493
Diary Of A Busker Day 493 Monday January 13th 2014 Winchester (Opposite Vodafone, Time: 1:42-2:48pm). Two songs in, during La Vie En Rose, the doc alights from the jewellers. He’s the one who told me to ‘ease off a bit’ a few days ago – ha! A woman, mid-sixties: another regular-whose-name-I-don’t-know, asks me if I’m alright and – ‘You look… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker Day 504 Sunday February 9th 2014 Winchester (1. Opposite Bellis/O2, Time: 11:15-12pm, 2. Opposite Pavillion, Time: 1-2:15pm). An amusing moment on the way in. While I was crossing the road near the station, this voice boomed out ‘HELLO MY LOVELY MAN!’ It was Maurice, in his silly little so-called ‘smart’ car he got from the council.… Read more →
Diary Of A Busker Day 491
Diary Of A Busker Day 491 Saturday January 11th 2014 Winchester (1. Next to Creative Crafts, The Square, Time: 11:20-1:20pm, 2. Opposite Oxfam, Time: 1:56-2:47pm). 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 →
