How can it be a flash mob when planned and carried out by profesionals

Glad it's been appreciated so far -i love the way they all just disappear at the end and are dressed in normal clothes. The acoustics are pretty good in the station -there's just one point where an announcement breaks through but it doesn't spoil it...

Brilliant! I love that music and what a terrific idea to build up the orchestra as the music builds up. No wonder the travellers stopped to watch.
Thanks, mobertol.

I wonder how much money was spent, to make happen?

Ours 'only' cost £1,160.00.

Idiot.

Flash mobs are organised by professionals, irrespective of what form the 'Flash' takes. I suggest you spend a little time in the smoke and take part in some of these events when they occur - providing, of course, that someone will be nice enough to you to cut you in with the event notification.

The difference between this and the Accy Flash Mob thing was that no public money was involved, no advertising was made and it was a completely surprise occurance for those passers-by. Hence the term 'Flash'.

If I'd have been in Copenhagen when this happened, being somewhat of a maverick, I wouldn't have joined in with the flash mobbers.

I'd have grabbed a blond hamster looking woman, and would have dragged her round the concourse by her legs.

Scoring a perfect 6.

I wonder if they're discussing Accrington's flash mob, on Copenhagen Web?

Having just seen the Accy flash mob, so thoughtfully posted by G, i thought that it was quite a laugh -probably brightened a rather grey day in town for those watching....

You're right, garinda. No comparison! In fact I got so emotional after 30 seconds of the 'Accy Mob' I had to stop it- I couldn't take any more.

That was brilliant.........if that had happened in Accy town centre it really would have been worth viewing.
