Busking at St Andrews Market

Busking Sites Around the Market:
Buskers are welcome to set up in vacant stall spaces or areas that do not obstruct stalls, market events, pathways, or roads. If unsure, please consult a market committee member for site approval.

Busking Under the Hall Veranda:
To busk in front of the hall, please sign up on the designated sheet.

  • Solo acts: May book one 30-minute time slot.
  • Groups (two or more musicians): May book up to one hour (two consecutive 30-minute slots).
    Please do not monopolize all time slots for the hall veranda.

Unplugged Performances:
We encourage acoustic performances, as we aim to maintain a relaxed, background music atmosphere.

Amplification:
Amplified music is allowed, provided it is battery-powered and kept at a volume that allows stallholders and patrons to speak comfortably without raising their voices.

Volume Control:
The sound level must allow for normal conversation. If asked to reduce or turn off the volume due to interference with the market, you must comply immediately. This is not negotiable.

Rotation Policy:
After 30 minutes, buskers must move to a different site to give others an opportunity.

Respect for Other Performers:
Do not set up within earshot of another busker. Use common sense and courtesy to avoid conflicts.

Respect for Waiting Buskers:
Once your performance is over, promptly clear your gear to allow the next busker to set up without delay.

  • Solo Musicians: Limited to one 30-minute session under the hall veranda.
  • Groups: Can book up to one hour (two consecutive sessions).

Buskers are encouraged to rotate around the market between veranda sessions, provided space is available.

Last-Minute Slots:
If the hall area is vacant and you may write your name on the sign-up sheet and begin busking.

Compatibility and Harmony:

By agreeing to these guidelines, we’d love to have you perform at our market. Not adhering to the above rules may prevent you from busking in the future.

For feedback or concerns, please contact the market committee in writing.
