Hi All
Thanks for your great tips on busking.
Now retired, I busked traditional tunes through the summer for the first time in West Somerset UK to appreciative (and quite generous) holiday crowds both solo (sax) and as a duo (with piano accordion).
Now the holidaymakers have largely left as the new school year starts, I'm looking for alternative venues with 'footfall'. I live in West Somerset.
I was wondering if anybody has any experience of car boot sales as a location to go busking. Some of them attract really large crowds and I would be willing to pay the £5 entrance typically they seem to charge (although obviously woud prefer not to).
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks :-)
