For anybody interested in what the experience of booking pitches for the London Underground #busking scheme is like, this is a screen I am very familiar with: it's the same system that's used by venues for booking concert tickets. It works pretty well and today I was lucky! πŸ‘

I have spent the evening writing @buskerbot their own custom script. Sorry Automate.io :) your service was wonderful but I needed something more advanced. Hopefully lil ol' @buskerbot won't fall over. I'll open source the script v soon πŸ™Œ
🎸 @basicallydan is #busking and he just played "Testing" 🎢 He thinks his rendition was "Amazing". Steady on πŸ™„ πŸ’° He earned about Β£12.34 Oh, and he left a note: "This isn't a song! It's actually me testing the bot."

My latest #busking report from Victoria's Cardinal place on Xmas Eve. If you're wondering if I played any Xmas songs, I'll save you time: I didn't. But I met a man who "used to work for Ed Sheeran". danhough.com/busking/2018-12… cc. @londonbusking @BuskInLondon

What are your Top 3 (or 5) #tips for a #busker that is starting out? #busking #busk #buskers #buskingcommunity nitter.gq/basicallydan/status/98… – at Ilford, London
Replying to @BuskInLondon
Interact with your audience - smile, say thanks, say hello to little kids who wave at you. The majority of people will not acknowledge you so enjoy the times when they do - it's one of the many ways they show appreciation for your hard work! #busker

1. Relax - if you're stressed, your audience will notice. Busking is supposed to be fun! 2. Move around a bit while you perform - people will notice you more 3. Practice lots before you busk, but don't be afraid to try new things while performing 4. I second what Dan said ☺
