For BUSKING HOTSPOTS (i.e. Covent Garden, Pier 39 etc)
Our app is gathering data to support our research on the social and economic impact of busking. By promoting the use of our app, you’re helping us to collect better data at your pitch. You’ll be able to use that info to show your local council just how brilliant you are!

For PLACEMAKERS
If you’re looking to encourage artistic communities, our app is collecting evidence to support your programs. But our app also inspires people to come to town to enjoy live art, and plan their trips to town around these street shows. Busking is the original placemaking!
