This handbook for street entertainers of all abilities and levels of experience provides advice on many aspects of successful busking. Guidance is included on types of busking, repertoire, places to perform (including sites to avoid), and British and European laws relating to street performing. There is a chapter on busking tactics (dress, audience, obtaining permission, talking to crowds, etc) and another section which examines such general points as likely earnings, the necessary equipment and dealing with taxes and accounts. The text includes a detailed list of over 40 recommended towns in Britain and throughout Europe, with instructions on how to get there, what to look for, when to perform and other points. The author has researched this guide during seven years of busking in Britain and Europe, during which time he accumulated extensive knowledge of sites, tactics and the rules of the road.
