Busking
16 Answers
I need to raise some money for a charity event so a friend and I were going to try busking, but we were wondering if you need a licence to busk ?
I went on Glasgow City Council's website and only thing I could find was a leaflet for street performers on conduct but it didn't metion anything about a licence.
Anyone happen to know ?

In Leicester, anyone can busk, but there is a list of proscribed pitches where you can do so. You have to go to the council to get a permit for a set date, place and time, which you can often get on the morning of performance if it's not a busy time.
Best to phone the council up and check. You can ultimately be fined for busking without a permit.

I know what you mean cleversod, I do care about kids here but it's a whole other story over there.
Alot of children with disabilities in India are treated in the most disgraceful ways. One child from last year was 11 years old and have never left the family home because the mother was too ashamed of her.
I would help any charity over here but this is just something I've became involved in.

Hi babybombo,
The charity you intend to collect for may already hold a licence for musical/entertainment fundraising events. It's worth checking with them.
The other way to approach this is by contacting your local council for a charity collection in the street.... if you choose to sing whilst shaking your tin, that is fine...here is a link from North East Derbyshire council... to give you an idea of the free licences they give out.

Whatever you decide, I wish you good luck.
