Occupy Exeter Request "Fun Stuff" from Musicians and Poets

As recorded in the minutes of their General Assembly meeting on December 1st 2011, Occupy Exeter would like to talk to musicians, performance poets (and I would suggest visual artists and performance artists of all shades also) who might be willing and able to support the movement by adding some "fun stuff" to the area of Exeter Cathedral Green.  For the moment at least, if that idea appeals to you then please do get in touch using the econnexus contact form.
