Thanks, Timothy! I live in the Netherlands. Busking would mean investing into a portable keyboard and gear because I’m a keyboard player... and most towns in the Netherlands have a condition that you may only busk unamplified - quite challenging for a keyboard player:)))
same rules in most towns in sweden, and yeah a portable (perferably battery run) keybord and a battery run amp like the Roland KC-110 or something that can support at least two channels (one for the microphone and for the keybord) is required to make some dough... although it might be a good investment.. i usually just make sure that i play in locations and at times where i get no complaints and then the cops to 99% just leave me be. Ofcourse i have come across places where the rules are applied more strictly... in my home town i would make back the money for a battery amp in a weekend.. and after that there is continious income.
Perhaps you could borrow some gear like that for a weekend or two and see if you could make it work, and if you like it? If you get there, then its just to play songs that are famous And that you really like.. also resist the impulse to give up and go home.. one needs to do the hours.. 4h is a good shift ;)
Could you see yourself busking?
If so I got a bunch of tips...
