Hacken at music without frontiers












Yesterday Hacken appeared at Harbour City's "Music without frontiers - Charity Harp Concert". Although Hacken does not know how to play the piano, he was taught a few techniques at the concert by Korean harpist Harpist K - and the musically talented Hacken played very convincingly! Coming onto stage the same time as Hacken was a 4 year old harpist called Emily. As Hacken's wife is also called Emily, he laughed and called the little girl his "little girlfriend".

To support this charity event, Hacken donated $50,000 to Medicines Sans Frontiers - a charity he has supported all along. He hopes that others will support this charity too. Hacken and Harpist K had already co-operated on his single "City surrounded by sky and water", and Hacken couldnt' stop praising Harpist K's talent. Previously he had been shown Harpist K's two electric harps, and he was very nervous as he was scared he would break them. Hacken admitted he does not have the talent to play the harp, and regretted not ever learning piano. Because of this, he would definately let his children learn piano. At this statement, the reporter asked if Hacken wanted to have a gold pig baby? He laughed and replied "Ok, I get it!", indicating the topic has been brought up too many times already! Previously Alan Tam had passed lots of secrets to Hacken, telling Hacken to have a child soon. When this topic was brought up Hacken laughed and said: "I dont understand what this whole hanging upside down thing is (apparently it's meant to increase fertility or something =/),but I'm still not that old yet so I'm not worried! (It seems that Alan seems the most anxious to see you have a child) Yes! He's acting like he's my father!"
