ahhh there's nothing quite so spontaneous as a flash mob planned on facebook.

genuine question: can we bring instruments other than guitar/ strings (if, obviously, we learn the right part)?

Depends which one of the security guards you get. Some of them are very strict, but others are willing to bend the rules if you flash them a nice smile.

[ukslim]

umm... is this a sarcastic reply?

[russycarps]

All flash mobs are planned. They only appear spontaneous to the uninvolved people who happen to be present.

Gently so.

123ginge,

Absolutely - the more instruments we get the better! (as long as you're in tune)... It's definitely important to ensure you play the right notes at the right time though - we're aiming to get it exactly as Elbow play it (with help from a rather talented violinist) so work it out and go for it! (out of interest - what instrument are you bringing, or is that a secret?!)

unsure what ukslim is talking about - There's no issue bringing instruments into Glasto - Last year they even had pianos dotted around for anyone to play..

I'm vaguely in agreement with you. I've argued strongly with a friend who's fairly into it all. He took part in these flash London Tube parties, where a they'd all bundle into a carriage with a PA and some lights, wearing rave clothes. He just didn't understand when I asked, what about the poor guy who's tired after a day at work, and just wants to get home without any invasions to his peace.

This thing, at the stone circle. If it's done slickly, it'll be a fun enough 3 minutes for many of those who aren't expecting it. And those who don't enjoy it -- well, it'll be over very soon.

If it's a shambles, it'll be really quite funny to watch.

Either way, I bear it no ill will.

[Ian_Mackay]

I bet there will be Hunters boots on every other person taking part though

P.s 2 members of Elbow have already tweeted about this..
