Last month I was asked to write a ‘guide to good busking’ for graduate publication Transition Tradition. The article is published in an special music issue of the magazine for March. To have a look click here.

Hi Amy! good article, but it’s difficult to generalise about the ‘generous’ age groups, it depends on the instruments and the music style i guess. And i have to disagree about the dog! A friend of mine plays one-man band – his dog sings, dances and plays tricks to the music, earns half his money for him!

Thanks for your thoughts Neil, glad you like the article. Good point about the dog, I once saw a busker in the South of France who used his dog in a similar way – as part of the act – which worked really well. I’d still say leave your dog at home if he’s not part of the performance – what do you think?
