I've busked before and in my opinion I would say it was a good thing to do. Bringing music to the streets seems to lift your spirits, well it does mine anyway. It is welcomed in my home town of York and I love it all, no matter what people are playing. As for making money at it, well I've never made more than £30 over 3 sessions! I refuse to accept that it was my singing, playing or delivery, more like the average person in the street does not listen, hear or understand. But on a positive note there are always the few who smile, stop for a while or tell you it's nice as they go past and to me that's worth it. I have seen some good buskers and some bad ones but so what, they always get money from me because I've been there!
