anybody got the lowdown on busking there? is there an organizer, draw? is it possible?

[Mr Qwirk]

I went in 07....

there was a draw each day around 10am i think?
in the weekends, you pay to play on the garden pitch ($20 I think now)

see you there...

[Magic Brian]

Spin and Louise organize everything. You can play the mall during the day and there is a draw for that every morning then the garden is at night and you do pay to use the amp they set up down there.
The mall is HARD. It can be good at times but sometimes it just sucks. There are a few good shows at night in the garden and on the weekends it can really go off. The thing is there'll be about 30 or so people drawing for three spots in the garden. If you get it, it can be amazing, if not, your stuck in the mall.

Hmmmm, Sounds like fun and only a short plane trip away

hey kids, does anyone know the current deal on the Garden draw? Do you have to register in advance or can you show up and put your name in? I'm going to be in Oz in Feb and March and I'd like to work the fringe but only know what I can find out on the website and through the archives here, so any info you guys could add would be really helpful.

Thanks alot,

Cate

What I hear is there is no garden pitch this year, just the Mall.
It may have changed at the time of writing this, that's what I know from a few weeks ago

Would I be right in thinking that there's very little incentive for being there then?

(from a purely "street" perspective)

[Cate Emily]

Yeah, it totally takes away a lot of the reason to go to Adelaide...but I hear that the mall isn't that bad as far as just street performing goes, so I still might give it a shot. Does anybody know how the street performing in Adelaide compares with the street in Melbourne?

Adelaide v's Melbourne

mmmmm they are both street pitches ( as is Sydney/Perth/Canberra/Darwin ) so just depends how good/confident you are in your abilities.

I'm pretty confident that I have realistic expectations. Like, I know that I have a really good show...on my home pitch. I know that it's not going to be as good away as it is at home. But, I also know that I have a good presence, I build good relationships with my audience and I have a great finale. I figure that after taking a beating while I figure how to make the things that work great on my home pitch work on other pitches, I'll end up with a better show and make some decent money.

I mean, I'm not expecting festival money, but I know that if I get a fair chance to get in the rotation and if there's a public that's ready to watch, I'll do ok.
