Hi Guys. Been busking in Manchester for around a year and a half now. First, when I became homeless thru a nervous breakdown, a redundancy from my £60K a year job and my wife leaving me. I now have my own apartment and a somewhat way less hectic lifestyle!!

I go out most nights to play, not with the soul intention of making money but to have fun playing music. I think my enjoyment shows thru as I always seem to walk away with VERY heavy pockets filled with coinage.

In my case as I am sure of most others it certainly is not begging. I never ask for money just merely play guitar and sing, however should they offer me a few coins I will not turn it down.


Kind Regards Guys,


Heath.
