How Much Can A Busker Make In An Hour At The Town Basin In Whangarei?

I was intending to busk at the Town Basin on Saturday, but the weather had other ideas. So I went on Sunday instead, with Kael on the camera again.

The weather was still a bit dodgy, but we managed to find a nice spell in which to set up and perform.

The coffee-loving-foodies were up to listening in - thank you for your generosity.

Earlier this week the Bard suggested to a few people he might busk in the Town Basin (Whangarei) today, but the weather forecast gave him second thoughts so he moved it to tomorrow instead, 11.30 - 12.30. The scene outside the house right now makes him thankful he did. However, he is sure Resport would appreciate the cash and things do look better tomorrow… (time to practice).

Thanks to the great people of Whangarei’s CBD on a Saturday morning, I’m Celebrating.

I can now perform in public, legally!

3 hours at a time, 2 days per week!

Are you wondering if this is as easy as rocking up to a street corner with a guitar and having a “jam”?

No. It isn’t.

But if you’d like to do the same, let me know. Because I am happy to teach you free of charge - for now… (be quick while it’s still free!).
