My First Time Busking / Busking Vlog 1

[@dublincitytoday]

I love this video! Really well done. It takes so much courage to go out busking. I hope you're keeping at it. You have a lovely voice. I look forward to following your journey. Huge respect and best wishes from Dublin City. 💚☘️🎶🕺🎵💃🎶☘️💚🇮🇪

[@the_groovy_life]

Thank you so much! My journey has actually moved on to live streaming on Twitch atm due to the current circumstances. 🥰🥰

[@dublincitytoday]

@@the_groovy_life great to see you changing with the times. Hopefully things where you are will return to normal... 🙏

I found this video inspirational and encouraging. I want to busk and im so nervous. Ive been learning the violin the last few years and my friends have been honest when i haven't sounded decent enough but say now i am. I havent been able to go into mainstream employment with autism and dyspraxia and lawful and unlawful discrimination. Ive worked so hard learning the fiddle and been having lessons so busking is a good way to avoid all the effort going to waste. I hope i can earn enough pennies to upgrade from the £150 violin im using atm. I dont get much with disability benefits so whatever i can get on top will be a bonus.

[@the_groovy_life]

Aw bless you. Performing in a live situation is the best practice you can get. You will find you'll improve your skills so much quicker by doing it and your confidence will grow also. As I said to others, its scary but so worth it. Go for it!! Wishing you all the best and I'm so happy you liked the video 💗

I'm 60 and due to covid I lost my job, thinking of busking now and I'll say this, your are my inspiration to get out and busk now. Thank you, you have so much courage and I only wish you the best, oh and you have a lovely voice and thank you so much. From Manitoba Canada.....best wishes.

[@the_groovy_life]

Yes, go your way! Only on the street you can learn that buisiness. A new world is out there. I wish you luck and happiness and like to follow you on that way.

[@the_groovy_life]

Thank you! Please do 😊😊

I really enjoyed your video, and you definitely reminded me of my experience. In 2007 I decided to quit my job and do some busking. I had never done this before, but I was getting tired of Contruction work and need to find a different source of income. I had been playing flute a long time and felt comfortable with giving it a try. What was funny to me was the company I was working for called me to see if I was coming to work, and my rely way, "Sorry, I am currently self-employed". That was the greatest feeling I had at that time! Anyway, just recently moved to Las Vegas, and I am getting ready to start a fresh new adventure in this town. Wish me luck!

[@the_groovy_life]

Wow thats an awesome story! Thanks for sharing. Wishing you all the best 🥰

[@agirlandheruke4391]

This helped me feel better thinking of busking but feeling scared its just me and my ukulele but seeing this vidoe made me realise what have I got to loose hope you do well you sound amazing 🙏

[@the_groovy_life]

[@the_groovy_life]

Aw thank you so much! You've got this 🙏🙏 it can only get better once you start. Wish you the best 🥰

[@everythingtakin]

If I might say first you do your make up so awesome . You are an innocent and a good person. I can tell and these quality’s will help your music life I’m sure. You have all the signs of a true rocker . When you said you felt like a machine and wanted to quit your job. I have not busked yet and I’m in same position you were at that time I’m nervous as all hell. You can be an inspiration for many of us beginners. I like your doing your music and you have a super great supportive dad. Props to him. Good luck from the bean town in US. When you said you forgot to practice standing up was such a real moment. I never want to hear a busker playing Ed sheeran again lol stay original I liked where your music was going. Whit that said enjoy and you have a new fan

[@the_groovy_life]

Aw thank you! And thanks for subscribing 💕 Happy you could relate to the video. All the best with busking, I've never not done a busking session and regretted it. Go for it!

[@everythingtakin]

Hi, I am a Busker too

[@gutsandgrittv5076]

Sweet story of bravery!!! Woohoo!

[@the_groovy_life]

Thank you so much 💕

[@OwensSkateStory]

I've told myself I'd go out and do this so many times but every time I get to a pitch I panic over the thought of taking the guitar out of the bag and go home 😭

[@the_groovy_life]

Aw man! You won't regret it and once you've done it for the first, then you've done it 🤩 and it can only get better from there. Also its on your terms, you could do one song then pack up and go home hahah. Go for it, you've got this !! ❤

[@OwensSkateStory]

@@the_groovy_life Thank you, I really want to bite the bullet but I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to yet 🤣

[@SanthoshCHRiS]

Amazing. You are an inspiration :)

[@the_groovy_life]

Thank you for the kind words 💗

[@henrikandmusic]

Very interesting video. Before corona started i was planning on going busking for the first time, too. This Video inspired me to keep on chasing this Dream and whenever it is possible to busk again, try it out myself :)

[@the_groovy_life]

Aw thats amazing! Yes I can't wait to get busking again. Funnily enough I actually do live streams on Twitch which is a very similar concept.. like busking online 😅 Because of this I have been in a position to leave my job, maybe I should do a follow up video haha. But glad you enjoyed the video and never stop chasing your dreams ✨ ❤

[@jt9601]

Wonderful video, Harley!!

[@smokingblues5067]

Which town? How did it go.? Keep going,you are lovely

[@the_groovy_life]

Hi i went to Horsham. It went well. I think we will be allowed to go busking again in June. I'll be sure to vlog that too and I will thank you so much 😊

[@MattKaaihue]

HOLY $#!+ THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO I'VE SEEN ON THE INTERNET... ❤🤯

[@the_groovy_life]

Thank you !!! ♥️🤘

[@AngelOClock]

That's just so beautiful! =)

[@PickpocketsME]

Curious, each time I busk I get a case of nervousness. I take a moment to feel them with fear that one day they will disappear. Have your nerves dissipated after the years you busk?

[@the_groovy_life]

Hello ,absolutely. I used to be so terrified. I must have busked about 20 times before I stopped feeling nervous and now it doesn't even phase me. I'll play anywhere. The great thing about busking is to remember nobody is expecting anything from you, nobody has booked you to play to a standard, your just doing your thing. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Keep going you'll be able to control the nerves the more you do it x

[@PickpocketsME]

@@the_groovy_life your awesome. I am at a point where I am booking my first paid gigs. I busk as much as possible for all the reasons you listed. I will be posting a video or two, and as I do, may I send you a link? Love to hear your pointers if you feel inclined to help a newb.

[@beggo321]

Loved it! Hopefully, you're still busking :D

[@the_groovy_life]

Thank you! I sure am 😊 an updated video coming soon ❤

This is a place called Horsham 😊

@@the_groovy_life oo I will totally go there 🤯

[@NetStorm84]

£28 for 45 minutes works out to be about £37 per hour, better than Tesco pays, I'm sure.

[@the_groovy_life]

Of course! Thanks for watching x

[@Sam-cy9tm]

im doing busking for the first time next week , im so scared lol. im confident with my guitar but im not the best singer. my mum is coming with me for support lol. any tips??xx

[@the_groovy_life]

Woo! You go girl! Just embrace it. If you mess up then carry on people don't tend to notice anyway and if you are confident on the guitar use that to your advantage 😊 And remember you'll only get better from that moment onwards, everybody starts somewhere! Oh and when you can, try to say thank you when people give you money hehe Best of luck to you 🥰 xx

In the first part of your vid I thought..."bold step....hope she's good enough.". Then I heard you sing :) Your voice is awesome and I'd definitely tip you. Choose your street songs wisely and you shouldn't go wrong. Check my channel and shout if you need any advice etc.
