Critique My Busking Set and Prepare Me for the Street

Busking is not a living-room gig. Paste your set list, location and biggest fear, and it critiques the songs for variety, pacing and crowd pull, flags anything likely to lose a passing audience, and preps you for the realities of the street. You go out with a set that holds people, not one that empties the pavement.

I want to start busking with my {INSTRUMENT} in {CITY_OR_VENUE_TYPE}. Here is my planned set list and approach:

Set list: {SET_LIST}
Planned duration: {SET_DURATION}
Target audience / location vibe: {AUDIENCE_VIBE}
Equipment I have: {EQUIPMENT}
Biggest fear about busking: {BIGGEST_FEAR}

Critique my set list for variety, pacing, and crowd engagement. Flag any songs likely to alienate or confuse a street audience. Then advise me on: positioning and acoustics, handling interruptions and requests gracefully, legal and permit basics I should check, what to say (or not say) between songs, and how to handle the psychological pressure of performing for strangers. Be honest if my set needs serious reworking.
