Just thought I’d update my stuff a bit, it’s been quite a while since I posted to this site.
I’ve changed the location I mainly busk at now. Due mainly to another busker who refused to cooperate in any way but insisted on taking over the area near the lighthouse with the assistance of a loud amplifier… and also a constant battle with the elements under the lighthouse (wind, sun, rain…) I went down to Westlakes shopping centre recently to see how things might go down there.
Not only did I find the public very appreciative, but also the Westlakes Management (particularly Ellise McCoombe, the marketing executive) were actually encouraging, something I did not expect of a modern shopping complex. So much so, that now I busk indoors at the food court, after having established myself as having enough talent not to scare off the public or upset the traders 🙂
All in all, I am enjoying my time there. I have mainly been doing Sundays, but might give Saturdays a try for a while. Stay tuned!
