To the OP:
Do you see buskers in your town, or in the towns where you are thinking of doing it? Some towns require licenses (but some are free). Others only allow playing without amps, or in certain designated areas.
If you are doing it without an amp/mic, remember that you need to be able to sing loud enough to be heard, or if you are playing instrumentals, even more so.
Not sure about licensing but I have see Buskers and there was a local News Story on one Person....

I'm still fighting the "I'm I good Enough" syndrome lol... So no I haven't yet but when I do it will be without an Amp at first
