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. Oh well, one must get on with it! I open the proceedings with a (despite the weather) somewhat chirpy rendition of… Read more →

Diary Of A Busker ~ Day 58
Diary Of A Busker Day 58 Thursday March 10th Winchester High Street (1. corner of Marks And Spencer, Time: 12:23-1:50pm, 3-4:45pm, 2. opposite Clinton Cards, Time: 2:10-2:50pm.)
