How many businesses: 1, 2 or just 'Other income'?

in Cutting tax
My main income, at the moment, comes from providing IT support/IT teaching on a self-employed basis, but I make some extra income with my hobby as a musician too.
I haven't earned much with Music so far, just £347.96 this year, and I've always included it as 'Other income' since it's always been quite little. I don't have a band or a label and I'm not sure how many paid gigs there will be this year, in fact I will probably busk a lot (and yes I do keep a book on the money I make buskin).
I'm debating with myself whether to add 'Musician' as second business or just put this figure as 'Other income' so as not to rock the boat
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I would leave it as other income - there are no implications known to me in so doing.0

I'm sorry but I'm lost.
I'm filling out the on-line form and it is quite different from the previous one.
Does anybody know where do I enter the Other Income (as Casual income)?
I see 2 helpfiles where one mentions casual earnings but the box number seesm to refer to a paper form (Self-Assessment Short Form I used to fill), not the online form. The other helpfile talks about Life Insurance Gains, Stock dividend, Shares et all that do not apply to me at all.
I'm confused..........0
