Busker Crawl – In Support of the Freedom of Music in Hamilton
Friday April 23, Time: 4:30pm – 8:30pm, Location: James St. North

We are calling all like minded musicians and music fans to join us on Friday, April 23rd on James St. North (between York and Barton) in busking.

The city has, over the last few months, fined buskers under the provincial laws again panhandling. We are very much of the opinion that busking is art, not begging, and want to make it very clear to the city, the local law enforcement community and the provincial lawmakers that this is not something that will be tolerated in Hamilton.

“They think I’m stupid and I like it.” Winner of the 2007 Critic’s Choice Award for Best Fringe Production, Laura Harris portrays comedic actor Judy Holliday. Judy Holliday, Oscar winner for 1950′s Born Yesterday, was a 170-IQ genius who specialized in playing dumb blondes – an act that held her in good stead when she was hauled before Senator McCarthy’s inquisitors in 1952 on suspicion of having communist sympathies. That part of her too-short life is the subject of this evocative play starring Laura Harris. More »
