He repeatedly told the kind person that he wasn't actually busking and that they didn't need to give him anything, but the fan wouldn't take no for an answer. Getting the note to Calum, who was stood above street level, proved tricky, and it took numerous attempts before he caught the money. He shared his appreciation by launching back into the song with a big smile on his face.
