have learnt a huge amount about performance from busking over the past 2.5 years. I have learnt how to earn a crowd, how to deal with tricky situations and how to be resilient after a tough day. This also gave me the chance to collaborate with other fabulous artists, since I often spontaneously do duets. Busking has also taught me how to perform further gigs and festivals, and to capitalise on the exposure from each.
