MUSICIAN AND ORGANISER CO-WORKER WANTED I am a guitarist who subverts national anthems.  I require another guitarist to do similar and engage in friendly competitions to support peace related organisations and organisation that support worker's rights.  Also to set up events where musicians can engage in musical subversions of national anthems.  This would be at protests, at events and for fundraising. There maybe some paid work at festivals as well where we can raise a peace flag in a quieter fashion.  Contact-Stuart Black at scribbleabc2001@yahoo.co.uk or on 07951 128 048 I live in North London.
