Had a chat with a TTC busker one day on the subway, we were both on our way to work...his stage a little different then mine....his stage has an audience of 1.5 million riders a day. They really are inescapable free gigs that add an element of cultural flavour to an otherwise dreary experience....
He told me they can do fairly well if they work long hours...need to audition for the gig, the turn out is huge for the much coveted yearly permit. Last August 193 musicians (or 175 acts) signed up to audition for one of the 74 coveted licenses. A three-judge panel assessed each musician during a seven-minute audition performance. August 20-August 22 are this year's auditions.
