There has been a lot of reports in the media and blogs on the internet saying that no musician will be paid for taking part in any official event at the London Olympics and that the musicians should be prepared to do it for free "for the exposure". Here is an example from The Stage.

The trouble is that all that I have read seems to be second hand accounts of what might have been said to musicians who have been approached to play.

Come anyone come up an official statement from the Olympic Committee saying that this is the case so that I can get properly angry?
