Busking in Hitchin [Eng/Deu]
Hello Hivers!
Anke here aka Anna-NewKey.
Hier geht's zur Deutschen Version
Steve has this week off and I also took a couple of days so we could go busking. We've been meaning to do that for some time, especially as we both have a Boss Cube amp each and we wanted to properly try them out for a long time.
The weather is great for that sort of thing right now, however, we have been very busy lately and getting busier.
Here is a list of gigs in August to get an idea, the top ones are 2 and 3 hour gigs.
On Monday we went to Hitchin and set up right at the Market Square, it was pretty hot, 😎 but we played for a good hour, getting a lot of feet tapping along the way and some money thrown inti the guitar case too.. 😄
However, our time was up when someone from the town council approached us as they had complaints from some of the offices around..
I've been assured by my musical friends that this is common practice there and it won't put us off. We'll be back but in this case we tried one of the side roads for a while until we packed up and went for well deserved coffee in one of the many cafés.
I didn't take any pictures really, but on Thursday we're doing it all again, but in Letchworth instead, so maybe I'll remember there.. 😄
Steve hat diese Woche frei und ich habe mir auch ein paar Tage freigenommen, damit wir Straßenmusik machen können. Das wollten wir schon länger machen, vor allem, weil wir beide jeweils einen Boss Cube-Verstärker haben und die schon lange mal richtig ausprobieren wollten.
Das Wetter ist gerade super dafür, aber wir hatten in letzter Zeit viel zu tun und es wird immer mehr.
Hier ist eine Liste mit Auftritten im August, um einen Überblick zu bekommen. Die oberen sind Auftritte von zwei bis drei Stunden.
Am Montag fuhren wir nach Hitchin und bauten direkt am Marktplatz auf. Es war ziemlich heiß 😎, aber wir spielten eine gute Stunde lang, wobei viele Füße mitwippten und auch etwas Geld in den Gitarrenkoffer floss. 😄
Unsere Zeit war jedoch um, als uns jemand vom Stadtrat ansprach, da es Beschwerden von einigen umliegenden Büros gab.
Meine musikalischen Freunde haben mir versichert, dass dies dort üblich sei und uns nicht abschrecken sollte. Wir kommen wieder, aber in diesem Fall haben wir es eine Weile auf einer der Nebenstraßen versucht, bevor wir zusammengepackt und uns einen wohlverdienten Kaffee in einem der vielen Cafés gegönnt haben.
Ich habe eigentlich keine Fotos gemacht, aber am Donnerstag machen wir das Ganze noch einmal, allerdings in Letchworth, vielleicht denke ich ja dort dran.. 😄
That's it for today; Thanks for looking!

I'll be at one of your gigs :)
Hitchin seemed pretty busy on Sunday with various music going on. Busking can be hit and miss, but it's fun if you get a good audience.
