I only busked once but got the best deal I have ever had! 1968 or 69 - I was 15 or 16 and me and my mate, Mike, and I went to Chester for the day on the train. Mike was just getting to grips with the guitar and me with the gob-iron so we decided to give it a whirl.Couple of Dylan/Donovan songs outside a cafe got us invited in to do a gig. Got paid with a slap up free meal and entertained the customers with our vast repotoire (sp?) of 5 or 6 songs!
Ah - happy days....
