A Busker in Notts
Fri 16 Feb 2024When I was about sixteen, I tried to go busking. I took my acoustic guitar, walked to Long Eaton's main high street, and awkwardly found a spot in front of a closed down shop. It was embarrassing before I'd even taken my guitar bag off, but I felt determined to stick with it.
