The Busking Project
Добавлен 8 июл 2010
The Busking Project exists to grow the busking economy and celebrate street performers worldwide!
The Benefits of Busking
When you apply for grant funding, you usually have to choose who the beneficiaries will be. We tend to select 'artists', and choose our category as 'arts and entertainment', and apply for 'arts grants'.
But, the real winners here are the cities in which we live. Busking does more for society than anyone realises.

Busking is at Risk
Просмотров 68610 месяцев назад
That doesn't paint a nice picture, but I have hope. If you look at the kinds of activities that once filled our public spaces-kids playing hoop, street sellers, pedlars, town criers and the like-only busking remains. There will always be a demand for entertainment, and there will never be an issue with supply (especially if the doomsayers are correct, and AI starts taking over in the arts). Als...

Although I don't want The Busking Project or our work to be viewed through the lens of the culture wars, I think it's safe to say that the values of EDI are uncontroversial, even if attempts to implement them have come under fire, and that EDI is one of the key strengths of street performance. So, I made a whole video about it, which you can watch by clicking the link below. Support our work at...

This is completely useless in the UK as we can just do contactless card machines which you can pretty much buy anywhere
I gues this is more for donations for street performers but then i dont understand how you would expect card payments and google/apple pay
Man I am owning up to, after self analysing...that I...struggle with a little bit of "hating." I try not to... I try to be fully supportive of all forms of creativity and expression from all individuals...but something about a busker asking ppl to "skudge in so they can, feel the vibe" just makes me laugh on the inside but also immediately irate so that nullifies the laughter... It's a confusing feeling... There are also other, things...that cause the same reaction... But I see that essentially, that mostly probably just means I have some "haterish" streaks and should do the best possible thing to respond to that feeling.... Focus back on my own work
Buskers are very important for every one !

Is it ok to busk in Tokyo? Do I need a permit to do that or can I do that as a tourist? I'm planning to do a regular busking in Tokyo, Jazz hiphop music mostly.
Can someone tell me how much of what is really going on in Gaza is reaching the everyday American?.... It seems as if only the younger generation is aware of the daily atrocities... I still have a heart and a sense of right and wrong. In the senate a law is being proposed to criminalize anti zionist sentiment by equating it to anti semitism..... I used to think I was smart and well informed when I tuned in to the likes of Rachel Maddow or Stephen Colbert or Seth Meyers etc etc. I was so mistaken! But an ongoing genocide is being funded by Western powers... I was AOC's biggest admirer and I have watched her burn out like an ember in water... What part of starving children, amputations with no anesthesia, summary mass executions are people finding too nuanced to discuss?... Most of the virtue signaling, SJW, PC Hollywood actors have suddenly become very quiet about this blatant ethnic cleansing.. This degree of complacency, apathy and outright complicity is horrifying...but then again, nations built on unspeakable horrors may very well continue to perpetuate them.... I feel almost a survivor's guilt because I see clearly the mechanisms in play...and I am no more deserving of life than this endless flood of victims.. Gill Scott Heron said the revolution will not be televised...., "Money, Power and Greed Associated (MPGA) is the biggest political construct in the world and it unites the left and the right.. I am so disillusioned with what is taking place.,.. Biden can end this in one day...,RFK, Trump, Haley they all support the Israeli actions.,., Internet censorship plans are already underway to restrict access to the facts... Do not be surprised if military conscription returns to America... You know how the frog will swim around happily in a slowly heating pot until it boils to death? America is already a banana republic... Something dies in us when we hide behind religion, gender, race or patriotism while being deaf to the cries of the oppressed... Just explain to me (I am so naive) how they can conjure up billions of dollars for perpetual warfare and yet struggle to end a national epidemic of homelessness....and abysmal health care..? May you never make the diabolical absurd mistake of allowing your children to serve Uncle Sam.,..At least not without a fight! It is so difficult to make the right decision when the lies are so deep rooted and cultivated.,.. I do not have to be a father to be distraught by the idea of children suffering like this.,, I have read Orwell and Huxley...They were frighteningly prescient in their outlook... Many of these feckless politicians need to be seen as the predatory vultures that they really are....I am beginning to wonder if being a psychopath is the most prevalent prerequisite for a life in politics and for the blinkered love affair of wealth and power.. The thing about the American dream is that one day you may have to wake up to realize that you are really living in the United States of Absurdity and with all the bad karma that it entails!

Would anyone use an AMPLIFIER, if they sang out of tune so to embarrass themselves in front of everyone? I wouldn't.
Don't get me wrong I liked his music and all, I was a patreon of his, but in some instances, he should NOT have used an amplifier when he sings out of tune to some songs. If I was a horrible singer I would never use an amplifier to make myself sound even worse, especially in areas where people are enjoying a coffee in a street full of cafes. Let them enjoy in peace. Otherwise I would tell someone to go up to him and lower the sound a little. Or simply not use an amplifier at all. That's what it's really about, Buskers using amplifiers, makes them sound LOUDER than normal.
Noise pollution is a criminal offence??? wtf??? it's only noise pollution if SOME buskers use those damn amplifiers to make them sound louder. You wouldn't use an amplifier in an area where there are cafe's and people enjoying a cup of coffee outside and have to listen to someone who cant sing that well. Just don't use an amplifier, SIMPLE. People can still hear you when they walk pass you, you don't have to let them hear you from all the way down the street.
What a wonderful life choice. I enjoy the insider interview. No one has really shared so much . I didn't know that there was a busking community. How can I join the community? From: Allaka Sam Traveling Conjuring Show. P.S. If I'm ever out Busking in your area and in need of a couch....
Omg..😨

Hellbound hound of Satan... The Devil rides at dusk. Twelfth horseman of Apocalypse... Born of passion and lust... I slake my thirst on the tears of Angels... A thousand reasons to cry. And God not so mighty below... Is saying "oh why oh why!" Black crow sitting on a scarecrow's head Born to witness the shadow of death... Present mourns past Future forebodes.. Harvest of souls from a field of woes... Thunder and lightning.. Rain turns to hail... Old folks know... this is no old wives tale. In Potter's field where Judas lies... Liberty grovels... to a fate contrived...
What a great video Nick. Fantastic 👏👏👏

Glen Hansard is truly a gift and one of my most touching songs that he sings is bird of sorrow thank you Glenn for sharing your gift, the gift of music❤
Fantastic, finally someone helping us buskers out. I've been busking since 1970 off and on....covid didn't help. Now at 70, I'm back busking and I was searching for a Tap your request type of cashless product.

Sounds like a capital one credit card commercial
A very nice and humble stephen spender!igot an opportunity to talk to him this morning in granville island.
Great video images - are these images available for wider use? Can you put them up as Jpegs for sharing? Thanks.
No desapareceremos!
Super ❤❤
Thanks for the video as a busker in Sydney the thing that has really destroyed us is no one carrying cash any more.All the other issues are not relevant and only complicate the issue to those we seek to inform Buskers have always had to deal with councils and other authorities. Please just stick to that big issue otherwise it becomes diluted with other side issues and just makes us look like complainers.Sydney used to be a wonderful haven for buskers ,now it is impossible for most artists to make a reasonable income.
Hi Andre, unfortunately I think they're all an issue, and connected. I don't think that properly recognising all the issues street performers are facing would make buskers look like they're just complaining, a bit like how I don't think that pointing out all the issues facing any other minority or overlooked group does that. It's an entire ecosystem problem. Imagine what technical solutions might be out there for street performers, if only people saw them as worthy of attention and support.
Busked all around the world.. this is what we have to deal with.. which is unbelievably sad- if people didn't like what we do they wouldn't pay us- big power hungry corporations and their minions are just obstacles that we encounter and fight through to make our living all the more worthwhile... they can try to make us conform but will never break our spirit
The local municipality I live in (Mornington Peninsula Council, Victoria, Australia) regulations require you to apply to the local chamber of commerce for a letter of permission, that letter, a council application and AU$239 is sent to council, who may give you a 3 month permit, depending on busking numbers you may get 2 more 3 month extensions.. It’s designed I think purely discourage busking. 😢
$239 for THREE MONTHS?! That's a joke.
Thank you for making this, Nick!
qué triste, ni vayan a Latam, los policías se llevan tu dinero...
Espana es muy triste- es un police state, amigo- muchissima veses los policia me molestarn- en Gran Canaria la policia me robaran mi guitara- una Gretsch muy bonita... 😖

Very insightful as always. Your work fighting Bournemouth Poole and Christchurch Council was phenomenal Nick, and you saved us all from some of the oppression. It was the worst I've known in all the UK, and I've busked in all the major cities. I prefer smaller towns these days, much much much less bureaucracy. There is hope. Cash isn't dead yet.
True words, my brother in busking- keep the faith
THANK YOU for this video. I’ve been busking in NYC, and the city Mayor’s Office literally used my picture for their bus-stop Ad project and shutdown my performances multiple times, in the same season. I truly appreciate this video raising awareness about us.🙏
What do you mean they used your picture? As in, they were celebrating street performance with your picture, but in the meantime the cops were shutting you down?
