World Record Attempt at non-stop entertainment Congratulations to Clive and all who participated – A new world record!
Congratulations to Clive Southerton (Vice-Chair of the Umeed Partnership UK) on his world record beating event at the Ffrith Pleasure Gardens in Prestatyn to raise sponsorship for the Umeed Partnership international production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. This will be staged at 10 venues across north Wales in October this year to raise funds for the Umeed Partnership activities in Pakistan.
The world record for non-stop amateur live entertainment has now been set at 36 hours and 25 minutes by Clive and 60 young (and not so young) people in Prestatyn. Starting on Monday 19th July at 10.00 am thirteen acts, groups, bands and individuals performed continuously until 10.25 pm on Tuesday evening. In addition to musical items, there was a street artist (who painted Clive’s portrait during the night), a local amateur dramatic company (Centre Stage), a stand-up comedian and a demonstration of birds of prey.
Many of the young people were students at Prestatyn High School, and youngsters from other schools in the area were trained & encouraged by Jacky Bateman, a member of the Umeed Partnership Committee.
This was a sponsored event and many of those who pledged sponsorship are away on holiday at present, therefore the financial outcome is not yet known. However, the event had the desired effect of raising the profile of the Umeed Project, particularly to young people through the medium of music. The cast for the production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamoat is being drawn from those participating in this event.
