Respect me

Respect my legally reasonable decision to boycott ALL gigs until I get a full and meaningful apology from Tory Whanau. Cadence, if I don't come to your gig, it's because I refuse to attend a gig until Tory agrees to apologise. It's really not negotiable. She says sorry as soon as possible, and then I can begin to reintegrate. Other apologies are also necessary regarding the continuing and baffling breach of my copyrights.


She has to say 'I understand that I stigmatised you in a public event, I understand that our assumptions were wrong, and that our behaviour towards may well have constituted a form of conversion therapy.' I'd love the classical music world to provide a similar apology, but I'm not holding my breath. They'll come around: if this whole bs about my IP proved something, it's definitely that my songs are literally money in the bank.
