Festival bid for air guitar record

An attempt to set a world record for the biggest air guitar ensemble will be set at a British music festival this weekend, it was announced today.

Music fans attending the Guilfest event in Guildford, Surrey, will be asked to take part in the record-breaking bid.

The air guitar spectacular will take place on Sunday when legendary guitar band Status Quo will headline the festival.

Air guitar experts, including previous UK champion Farmer John, will be on hand to give training to festivalgoers.

Festival co-ordinator Justin Coll said: “Hardcore Status Quo fans are pretty much all equipped with air guitars but there will be an air guitar for everyone on Sunday when we look to set the record.”
