Well done Lynn Whats your running list going to be Thanks guys! I don't really have a set list, just a list of songs to jog my memory and I'll play whatever I feel like doing at the time. Probably 1/2 originals and 1/2 covers. I'm going to busk for an hour beforehand to get warmed up. Really looking forward to it.

It went really well. I busked for about 45 mins beforehand to warm up and made £9. The hour at the fair went by really quickly. I played a lot of originals and got a pretty good response. It was quite busy and I couldn't be heard all that well, people kept telling me to 'sing louder'. I was singing as loud as I could. It's an all acoustic thing, no amps allowed. I was invited back to the next one in March, so that's got to be a good thing.

Congrats, Lynn!
Don't think too much about the "sing louder" stuff. Remarks like these usually com from those who haven't found out that ipod earphones have an adjustible volume ;D

Thanks, it didn't bother me. I already sing so much louder than I used to, any more and I would just be shouting. Part of the problem was there were no walls to bounce the sound off of, it just got kind of lost.
My little busking spot is a large doorway of a closed shop so I have walls on 3 sides, I can be heard a lot better there.

Well done Lynn - glad it went well! No amps is a good thing! People then actually have to listen - and they were well rewarded if they did, I'm sure. Here's to the next time Keith
