Tupps Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hello, Does anyone know if there is much blacklight at Glasto? I'm trying to decide what kind of hula hoop to take with me to dance with. I'm thinking about buying a UV glow hula hoop - one that glows under blacklight - but will only do this if there will be places where it will glow. Thank you!

verrymerry Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I'm not sure you'll find somewhere with blacklight and enough space to hoopla, but certainly there's venues / bars / clubs where you'll sparkle like a unicorn if you've got the right stuff!

IanBelfast Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hi Nat, First time at Glasto for me so I have absolutely no idea about uv lights. But the fact someone has asked about what type of hula hoop to bring to Glasto has really given me a giggle. More excited than ever!!!

dingbat2 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 There's plenty of info in the hula hoop thread treacle. Make sure you are in the right thread though, the crisp based hula hoop thread is a bit of a car crash if truth be told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natalie In the Theatre and Circus fields they have hula workshops, they always appreciate people of all talents (or none what so ever in my case but the gf likes it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I've just added uv paint to my wellies so I'm intrigued about the answers too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy101 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Just had a bit of a flashback to just after Metallica finished and we where heading towards glade. Someone randomly gave my gf a hoop and she started spinning it. Very shortly after she was invited to strut her stuff on one of the main bars along that strip so she ended up drawing a huge crowd and the bar (which had been dead) gave us a beer each for drawing in some punters.

DropBeat Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Can't go wrong with a bit of UV, hula based or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy101 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 A Tribe Called Red are partial to a hoop or 10 and are doing a couple of performances on the farm this year at least. (There's loads more on that video, I had to rush finding a half appropriate time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunk pumpkin Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Possibly my favourite topic of the week. All the negativity with everything going on in the world its good to see we can focus on some good old fashioned bollocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyginger Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Must add UV paint to my list! Someone posted a link to a website selling glitter and UV stuff, who was that?! I'm going to see if I can find it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tupps Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thank you for your replies. I'm a bit of a hoop fanatic! Incredibly excited to spend time in the circus fields!! Tommy, that sounds amazing! I bet the crowd loved it. I had bought a beautiful hoop with reflective tape (which sparkles in the sun) on it for Glasto, as a cheaper alternative to an LED (see the video posted by Bamber - LEDs cost £200+) but it is unfortunately too heavy and would also get ruined by mud and grass. So I want to make sure the next hoop I order is festival suitable! This is Rachel Lust, my fave hooper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bethannny Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 This is my favourite topic EVER. Combining sparkly/glowy stuff and hula hoops. Yes. Not sure on the UV/black light question - I've got UV hair dye going on at the moment so I'm very much on the hunt for some UV lights to test it out myself! I'm sure there will be some somewhere, whether or not there's room to hoop is another question! As for hoops - something with reflective tape will be great in the daytime. Especially if the sun is shining! Last year I took my basic LED (cost me about £60 from Oddballs) but this year I'm bringing along my fancy ULA Oops hoop (smart LED hoop) and I'm definitely looking forward to giving that a spin. The problem, of course, is that by the time it's dark enough I'm not normally in any state to hoop... I spend a lot of time in the circus fields too. Especially since I'm into all the aerial stuff as well, it's properly breathtaking and super inspiring! But on your original question - I personally wouldn't bother with an UV/glow in the dark hoop. You probably won't get enough glow out of it and LEDs are much more versatile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
