What can I say a very peculiar busking evening! I arrived at a relatively busy London Bridge Network Rail station, half an hour early to sign in. I then started setting up in the usual spot near the Body shop ready to start for my two hour 6pm slot.
All I can say is tonight was the toughest crowd yet busking! I had a lot of people making faces at me and looking really miserable in their own worlds. It’s amazing to see how many people are in a rush to go home when you are a busker. All the different personalties that pass you by, to be honest each day is never the same! Normally people clap, smile, wave, stop to watch, but today was just a weird vibe. I kept on playing though regardless, it's all good practice! It is a session that will stick in my head for having the weirdest tip in my tip box though for sure. Let’s say I’m gobsmacked! Someone put a condom in my tip box!!!
When I packed away a lovely man came up to me and said “You are so brave to stand there in front of everyone, I admire you!” He took my business card and let’s say I left feeling very grateful for that comment. Thank you!
