YouTube - Hammer Time Mob Dance

Can't find one for Victorian Swimming Gala.

Wonder who's paying for it though?
and
How are either of them going to promote the Town?

Funded the same way, a combination of lottery and government money?

I can't see there being any cost at all with the flash mob dance..hopefully.

People arrange them all the time, with just internet access, and a mobile phone.

Well you're half right.

I already hate the idea that the government are spending tax payers' money on it.

As an artistic event, I shall reserve judgement, and as always, keep an open mind, until they've happened.

Can I ask how much funding has been secured for the flash mob dance, if as you say it's again a combination of lottery and government money?

Again, it will help people evaluate the value, and worth, of such 'art projects', which this thread is about.

The only cost is the dance teacher who has devised the dances and then taught specific groups of people.

Not on Broadway Pete, our homegrown shoplifters wouldn't be associated with pound and Charity shops, (civic pride and all that).;)
