It’s part of a weekend of solidarity against government cuts that is taking place not only up and down the UK, but also in a total of 8 countries, across 3 continents. The latest figures show that on the weekend of October 2/3/4 there will be a total of 243 gigs in 121 towns.

DIY POETS will be there, and proud to be a part of so many performers coming together to show that yes, we do have a voice. It’s simply a glorious celebration of musical and lyrical talent that refuses to sit back and watch the government shrink the state.

It’s a free event, but there will be collections of food for Nottingham Food bank, and also donations collected for Framework, the homeless charity.

It’s the biggest free festival ever, with stages all around the country, so let’s have a party!
