oggie	What compels a musician to busk? (70* d)	RE: What compels a musician to busk?	24 Jul 08
"Hi Nick... if you ask me, if you audition and get a licence... it is a gig, not busking... busking assumes that we own the road." Depends on why you're doing it. Being based in York I know several of the buskers who make a comfortable living from it. Yes they have licences (and they have to buy a Street Trading Licence to sell their CDs) but they approach it as a job, which to them it is, and make a living from it. They reckon to make £50-£100 an hour between the hat and CD sales. The caveat is that they are good. They are polished and professional. Steve
