I’m a street busker. Is it a good idea to give me money?

Yes, probably; but you might be better off getting something in exchange.

On balance I think busking is more beneficial than harmful. It’s fun for the performers, and I’d guess the vast majority of passers-by enjoy it at least a little. And even if they don’t like the music, concertgoers seem to agree that having live performance nearby adds vitality and diversity to the cityscape.

Why not just give all the money to charity instead? Well, some of the performers are themselves poor and homeless (and yes, I’ve seen this story before). Also I think there’s something valuable about having entertainment to look forward to as you walk through town. You get more out of it when you’re willing to pay for it in advance. But if you want to make a charitable contribution anyway, you can always buy a CD from the band afterwards.

A street busker is a person who earns money by playing music or performing other artistic feats in public places, such as the streets. They are often found in large cities.

When you see someone playing an instrument on the street, should you give them money? I think you should. It is not only because it is a good thing to do for someone who has such talents and courage that he can play music for strangers, but also because it will make our city more beautiful.

When we walk along the street, we may see some people with their instruments singing and playing on the streets. If we give them some money, they may be encouraged to perform better next time. This way they will become professionals in their fields and will make our city more colorful.

On the other hand, if we neglect them, they may have to stop their performances which will make our city less beautiful. And probably their talents will not be used well either.

In conclusion, I think we should give money to a street busker when they perform well.

Many people in London say that a street busker is a beggar.

I disagree – it is not the same thing.

Firstly, a street busker gives you something in return for your money: they perform music, dance or other entertainment.

Secondly, they work hard to earn their money and this takes effort and skill. They work long hours standing on the pavements which can be cold and uncomfortable. And they are often highly talented performers who might have been successful if they had been discovered by a talent scout at an early age. Some of them have even passed their grade eight exams and have performed in concert halls. Of course some of them are simply opportunists who cannot be bothered to get a proper job but I suspect that most of them are talented performers who want to make a living from their music or dancing.

So my advice is that if you see an entertaining street busker then give them some money. It will make both of you feel good!

The value of street buskers is an interesting topic, and one that will continue to be debated for many years. The street busker has long lived in our society, and today they are still a common sight. Yet despite their longevity, they remain a controversial issue with few people knowing the truth about them. This essay will look at both sides of the issue and provide some advice on how to deal with this prevalent problem.

Street busking is a serious issue as it can have negative effects on society, including the potential risk of public safety. There have been claims that some street buskers have become violent when confronted by police officers or members of the public who are attempting to disperse them from an area. For example, in 2005 there was a case of a busker who assaulted a police officer after being asked to leave an area where he was busking without permission. However, there are also other issues such as health and hygiene because many street performers do not use toilets regularly which means that their urine is often left on pavements or in public places which can cause problems for other people if it gets into their eyes or mouth.

The benefits of street busking outweigh these potential risks because it provides entertainment for everyone who sees them perform – whether they’re old enough not yet

It’s a common sight in many cities: a musician plays a song on the street while passers-by drop coins in a hat. But is it a good idea to donate to buskers?

In the past, busking was considered beggary and was illegal, but today it is generally tolerated. The great advantage of busking over begging is that you don’t have to give anything if you don’t want to. Passers-by are free to judge for themselves whether the performance is worth a donation. This is more fair than begging, where you are expected to give money without knowing how it will be used.

The main problem with busking is that it relies on an unfair system. Even if every busker is talented and works hard, some will make lots of money while others barely scrape by. The reason is that their income depends not only on their effort and talent but also on factors outside their control, such as location and time of day.

Some people think this unfairness encourages people to work harder and try harder to improve their skills. Buskers can’t expect handouts or donations unless they show they are worthy of them. However, I think these effects are easily outweighed by the negative consequences of letting people go hungry or sleep rough because they

I was once in a train station. A man began dancing and singing on the platform. I stood and watched for a little while, as did many others. He had a hat out for money, but no one threw anything in.

Then he started to sing “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” by Creedence Clearwater Revival. It was a strange thing to do, but quite good. The crowd around him grew bigger and bigger. He moved through the song with the easy skill of a professional musician, but with more grit and feeling than any professional could muster on command.

I looked at his hat and saw that there were now some coins in it, but no notes. I took out my wallet and pulled out a twenty-pound note, which I folded twice and placed in his hat as unobtrusively as I could manage. As he finished his song and started to bow deeply before accepting his applause, I slipped away unnoticed.
