I am doing a 12-hour busking session in Blandford town Centre on October 20th 2022, starting at 9am, finishing at 9pm, and I aim to avoid playing the same tune twice…after all, I don’t want to annoy the market traders…

This is in aid of Teddy20 via online donations,, but donations (money or food) made on the street during the day will go to the Blandford Forum Foodbank.

The last hour or two will see guests come up to sing and/or play with me as a sort of informal open mic (though there isn’t a mic!)

It’ll be weather proof as there are plenty of sheltered spots where I can stand with a guitar, violin or piano.

Donations are very welcome via this page and Tom Newton’s efforts every year for the Teddy Rocks festival are truly inspirational. Every donation helps in the fight against cancer.
