Notes

Wesley James Byrne is from Liverpool. He has been performing his poetry for six years around the UK. He is going to be reading a set of poems and ad libbing a lot. He mostly writes about peace, freedom of speech and representing the city he is from. He describes himself as witty, hairy and sometimes humerous. To perform his work is the most important thing to him. He expects a reaction while on the plinth but thinks he should always expect the unexpected. He doesn't think being on the plinth will affect him. He is doing the project for himself and to raise money for breast cancer awareness. The theme of his performance is whether a city moulds a person or if people mould a city.
