Week In The Life Of A Busker
Рет қаралды 16,468
7 жыл бұрынI do a lot of busking. And I drink a lot of coffee.
It's not that interesting really. But I did my best to capture my little life adventure and squish it into a video for you to see how I go about my day.
I realise now that a week is too long and I should have just focussed on just one day at a time...
I'd love to hear your comments on this...would you like to see more? What parts of the video were most interesting and what should I focus on next time?
Thanks for supporting :) I love reading all your responses!

Hi Charlotte, stumbled across you a few years ago whilst killing time on the South Bank, oh my God, what a voice, listen to your CD regurlarly, your Tracy Chapman cover on here was fantastic. Would love to get you down to Eastbourne for a garden party in the summer. Keep it going.

I think you are so brave to put yourself out there, an audience that have not paid to see you (yet) can in theory say what they like, maybe it's the most honest way of performing, but you must need nerves of steel. I have many songs that I have written over the years, and it's only now as I approach the big 60 that realise that music was my first love and I should have cast away my doubts and done what you are doing, All credit to you Charlotte, it also helps that you are super talented xxx

You love what you do, people (myself included) Love YOU for what you do. My personal favourite of your songs is 'There's Music On The Streets Of London'. Whatever you sing, your audience love listening to you. Our Charlotte brings happiness and joy simply by singing to people. As soon as finances dictate that I can, I will invest in your CDs. Love and Respect from Steve xXx

So cool! I was totally entertained... smiled throughout the short video and even chuckled a few times (so you do love coffee? ( :) . Hard to imagine much improvement. After hard consideration I would say adding more candid audio. Like quick clips of your performance and interaction with viewers. I only suggest it because you asked for suggestions. I love watching short movies and this one is a favorite. Thanks!!!

great video I love your set up one tip! be really careful with the battery/generator for your amp as the two wires are so close together. it may not be the same case but my boyfriends batter if you touch the wires on the wrong ones and it is on it can sizzle smoke and break :)

Well hello there ^^ While watching your video I had an idea about your mic stand. I see you decorated it with white roses :) That's very nice! Did you think maybe about adding some toned down / dim white Christmas lights? Cheers and best wishes from Poland ^^

First thing first, tnx for the great video! Now I just have to ask, what exactly is the busking situation in London? Can you play outside or is it restriced just to subway spots? Is it still required to get a licence? I dont have any near future plans to travel to UK, just curious :) have a great weekend&cheerz from Ljubljana :)
@ccampbellmusic 6 жыл бұрын
+Dare Acoustic yeah it’s mixed really! You can busk outside but some spots you need a licence. Other spots are more open and have queuing systems so it depends specifically where you want to play. There’s a great website you can visit for more info it’s called busk in London

Hiy a charlotte great video made fro a really interesting vlog. I was just wondering ( feel free not to answer because ei know it's rude to ask about pay) but do you earn enough as a busker to live in london without another job or do you have another job that gets you the extra money. Me and my 6 friends do a lot of busking but I'm really interested in trying to make a go of it and do it full time and I just wonder f that is genuinely possible ( My parents seem to think not) Great Video!
@ccampbellmusic 7 жыл бұрын
+Eva Sheridan hey Eva :) thanks so much. Yeah I make my living from busking, as you can see from this video, it takes a lot of a commitment and it's tiring and tough but I do love doing it and somehow I make ends meet and that's wonderful :)

A comment not relevant to your music, but noticed in the beginning of the video that you were preparing a smoothie (I guess) with bananas and other stuffs. You might want to check out this video "A sugar expert explains the unhealthy downside of smoothies" of "Tech Insider" KZfaq channel. Sorry for giving an unsolicited advice, hope you don't take any offense. Just sharing some scientific information.

+Sourav Pal thanks Sourav, I've been looking into this too but I just really like the taste and it's so quick and easy! I've heard a lot about the nutritional change that occurs when you smoothieify things! Such a shame!
