[Harp-L] Re: Musician Integrity

[Steve Baker <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Robert asked:
Is there a gig you would turn down because it's a cause you don't support?
Does your appearance imply that you endorse the cause? All of it, part of it?

Steve responds:
Yes to both questions. At least in Europe, audiences will tend to assume that artists who perform in connection with a particular cause also support it. There are many causes with which I personally wouldn't wish to be associated and would therefore not play for.
