Thread Name: busking
Subject: RE: busking
I busked the outdoor cafes in St. Tropez years go. The early season (May) was good but when competition turned up (June onwards)takings went to the dogs. From my experience, the worst thing a busker can do is to play anything serious: Leonard Cohen just bums people out and they won't throw you a penny. The best thing to do is to get a good bottler (the person that moves through the crowd/tables to collect money) and by good I mean has large breasts.
