Louisa Busking etiquette (64* d) RE: Busking etiquette 10 Jul 01


Good one Willie-O - might try that next time someone peers into my case!

It is terrible about the beggar thing Larry. It can be blooming knackering busking for hours and trying to look as though you're enjoying it - people used to tell me it was easy money because I could earn what they earned in a day in 2 or 3 hours - but after playing the fiddle for that long you're exhausted. Entertaining people is hard work.

I think licences are a good idea but I don't think they should cost anything. Even if the council etc never gets involved with a city's busking scene at any involved level at least you've got something that says you're allowed to be there which legitimises what you're doing somewhat.

Does anyone have any busking pet hates? Mine are pan pipes, backing tracks and people sprayed silver standing very still.
