Live Performance
Hey folks,
By March 1st, I will have been playing guitar for exactly one year and I would like to celebrate by going into Manchester City centre and playing to raise money for the homeless. However, despite playing for several hours a day, I'm really not sure if I'm ready.
How long were you playing guitar for before you started performing live - events, on the high street, etc - anything outside of playing in front of family/friends? How many songs do you think it's necessary to have? Additionally, are listeners more forgiving if they know you're playing for a good cause?
Any anecdotes, tips and advice hugely appreciated.
Cheers!
