Improvised tree & bungee cord mic stand!

https://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/

I went busking yesterday. Parked out at Newnham and walked into Cambridge (at least a mile I reckon) with all my stuff.
When I started setting up I realised I'd left my mic stand in the car!
I wasn't up for walking all the way back to get it, so started making my way to a music shop to see how much their cheapest mic stand was. ...then I saw a tree and inspiration struck!
It was a bit awkward, and it looked quite weird I think...like I was hiding behind the tree, but it worked : -)
The video is a Facebook live thing done on my phone, so the quality is not great.
If you want to hear the song more clearly it's on this live album (track 2) https://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/album/as-i-sing-live-from-the-streets-vol-1
