Thanks Jimi Returns to Wroclaw
Every year, thousands of guitarists gather in Wroclaw’s market square in an attempt to break the Guinness world record for largest guitar ensemble. While last year’s 4597 guitar players failed to break the record set by the Thanks Jimi festival in 2009 (6346), this can only mean that this year’s participants will be more determined than ever!
As the festival’s name suggests, the main record breaking-attempt event (on 30 April 2011) features a performance of a song by Jimi Hendrix - “Hey Joe”. This year’s performance will be led by British group Ten Years After, which will also perform a full-scale concert later that day.
