Supported by Fender In aid of Cancer Research
Busking Cancer is an event in aid of Cancer Research UK and sponsored by Fender®

Register. Organise. Busk.

Our overall principle is simple. Bands enjoy playing music and having fun, so why not raise money at the same time? Busking Cancer has been established as a fund raising event for Cancer Research UK (registered charity No. 1089464). Funds are raised by the buskers themselves seeking sponsorship for the event and, of course, in the traditional busking sense!

Musicians across the UK from Belfast to Brighton are signing up for our Busking Cancer weeks! How you plan your busking event is completely up to you (that’s part of the challenge) and anyone can sign up!

How you run your busking event is entirely up to you – pick a date during one of our Busking Cancer Weeks, pick a location and go busking! The real challenge is in the organising of your event…pick a good location and succeed in getting permission from the local authorities and you might be in for drawing a crowd!

(can’t see a week that works for you? Simply choose a date over the year that you can go busking or play a gig. We only have specific weeks to help with the process of sending out T-shirts etc!)

 We are a band and want to go busking I am a solo artist and want to go busking We are a school and fancy having a go We would like to run a Busking Cancer gig!
