2011 Flashmob!

[Okky]

I'm really looking forward to this

Here's the intended start point for the gig.. Position yourself in one of the Group areas marked, and watch for "the signal" at the point indicated. What's "the signal"? Stay tuned to find out..

[UEF]

Bump. And don't think you have to be a musician. If you've got a gob, you're in.

..and BBCR6 are on the case, mentioning it and re-tweeting our updates..

All welcome.. especially those with beautiful singing voices and/or copious amounts of moonshine..

[FunkyDenz]

There's going to be about /index.php?showtopic=162753">40 robots also assembling at the Stone Circle around 9pm, apparently dancing to Robot Rock. This could make things very interesting.

[morrisman]

We will be joining the robot prosession as part of a birthday party for a girl of 8 in our group. Did not know about the flash mob, could be even more fun for her then!!!

[Magma]

Passed this onto my housemate. He loves this sort of thing!

I must confess I hadnt read the link before I wrote my miserable post, I thought they planned on doing it during the elbow set (which would probably be funnier now I think about it).

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

[Morse Code]

I'll be there. This was the first song that randomly 'shuffled' on my i-pod after my daughter was born in January!

I can't sing or play an instrument by the way but at least you'll know it's from the heart!!

[ThomThomDrum]

This could be interesting to see..........especially if the Daft Punk Robots turn up at the same time..........

[UEF]

Bump for victory!

I'll be there. This song was played as we walked back down the aisle as husband and wife - we're celebrating our first wedding anniversary at the festival this year!

[Ian_Mackay]

Final details are now up on the Facebook page.. (539 likes on the page so far..)

Rain or shine, we hope to see lots of people there!

[UEF]

I've been on a few recruitment drives!

[placebo365]

I'll be there, sounds great.

Well done to everynody ... After a favour, if anybody kept the video of my 15 year old playing One by U2 at the end open mic session :-) Drive home safely

[amfy]

Well done to you!

We were there and it was lovely. Part of a Thursday evening which really began to pick us up from a difficult time getting on site on Wednesday, and remember why we love Glastonbury.

[pablopablo]

Anyone got any videos of it then?

[King Kong]

Anyone got any videos of it then?

[Oddone]

Sorry folks. But here is how I saw it.

I saw it on here and FB and dragged the other 14 people down who are mostly massive Elbow fans. When we got there it didnt appear to be in the same place as drawn up and there were no distinct groups. Then people started walking to the side of the stones n by time we got there, there was a small nois eof lyrics but so faint we couldnt join in. I dont whether loads of peoiple who didnt know what was going on turned up but in all fairness it was shit.

We stood there scanning the stones for a dude in a tophat n didnt see him. Was a waste of time.

So we stood there trying to join in but failing. And once it was finished we got smashed and sung our own songs for an hour which went down well with other people joining in around us.

I have uploaded a HD version on their facebook page but you will need a decent PC to view it

I wasn't even there and that nearly made me do a little cry! Lovely idea, and really beautifully executed from that vid. Well done to all involved.

[Oddone]

Yep from where we were just 20 yards away the guitars sounded like wall of noise and so many people were just standing watchign talking it drowned out the singing. Though it looked awesome from this angle.

[Donnababycatcher]

I also dragged lots of friends there but couldn't see where things where supposed to be neither did we see a man in a top hat get on top of a stone as instructed they all seemed to be occupied by other people.

We heard the Hey Jude singing going on but hadn't heard the other presumably as there were loads of people around us talking :angry:

I was so looking forward to it too and can't believe we were there but couldn't hear it despite only being a few yards away

[UEF]

Thanks to everyone came - I'm the guy who kept playing afterwards for maybe an hour or so (Don't Look Back in Anger, etc.) ? Highlight of my Glasto, and dare I say it my life.

Anyway as I had a lot to do at the time I'd love to see any pictures or videos anyone took as I've got nothing!

Thanks
