Thanks for this lovely video. I love Jool's attitude and outlook for busking and living a humble and sometimes difficult lifestyle. But it also has it it ups aswell and people can be very kind and generous. Just starting back busking myself after many years because i cant get bookings in pubs anymore. Looking forward to it. All power to you Jools and all the other great musicians out there.

Thanks for the chat! The street is promoting your self! It’s tough at the moment for people but the joy of what we do is still relevant! For me 20% down’ Street entertaining measures the wealth and the health of the street! You got to keep the faith! Love your life! That’s the main thing!

Hi thanks for watching this doc Yes Roland cube is fine to do the job! I was using a Harley Benton 30 Watt mains rechargeable battery amp but they discontinued them it gave up the ghost now I’ve been using the cube with 6AA batteries I also use an I Pod for the backing tracks with the sax all goes on my small trolley I’ve done weddings parties funerals even jumping in on pub gigs with a band it seems ok if you google pendragon 2am on KZbin you can see more of my work Is a good job I wish you well it’s really all about the music! You got to live it to love it! Keep the faith joolsax

I'm only learning to play the saxophone 🎷 and I live in a private flat ' and there's a main road outside "and I go and practise when people are coming home from work?! And they pomp there horn " and wave 👋 🤣 and I can't even play a full tune 🤭🤪I've had a lot of good write ups on local Facebook sites?? I love entertaining them 🤡 but unfortunately it's had to stop!🙈there's complaints gone it to my landlord ' i did try going to a nother spot ' but for some reason I lost my nerve 😱🥺maybe if I can get some more learning " so I'll have a couple of songs to play 🎼🎵🎶🎷I'll give it a nother go 🥰

Bin grad auf ner Europa Strassenmusik Tour und kann nur sagen, großer Respekt für einen Autodidakten der alles auf eine Karte setzt und NUR vom Busking lebt! Ich könnte ohne paar Gigs nebenbei nicht über die Runden kommen. Aber lückenlos ALLE Full-time Musiker die ich in meinem Leben so kennengelernt habe, kriegen diesen ganz bestimmten Attitude, den man nirgendwo lernt außer in genau diesem Leben und der ist GOLD wert - keeeeep on ROCKING!!!! Ach ja und ganz fantastische Doku Leute!

Looks like busking in England is pretty good (in summer?). In NZ we've got issues with street crime that would make it pretty dodgy- no way I'd take decent gear out to busk- it would get raxxed.

I get this guy, it is all about the music, I busk in New Zealand and yes it is hard but it gives people something else to stare at rather than their phones. Some people look down at you but people have to remember that I am looking at hundreds of odd looking people and have to contain myself sometimes. The ones who appreciate music will always put in the hat. Sometimes I have to drag myself out to do it but once I have finished the first song I am away..........Music is a passion

Love this. I've been busking for years and now I'm retired and depend on it to make ends meet. I'm lucky to live in a town that "tolerates" buskers. No permits, regulations or hassles with the police. I do mostly fingerstyle instrumental guitar stuff and play whatever I want. It's nice to know when you're broke, that you can always hit the street for a few hours and earn enough to make it through the week!
