Good Things Happen (Blackpool Flash Mob 2011 - Official Video)

On September 18th 2011 at 11.30am, at The Hounds Hill shopping centre in Blackpool, this happened.

Created and managed by Laura Catlow
Choreographed by Lian Wray
Sound provided by Gaz Jenkins
Filmed by Sumo Crucial Productions
Music Produced by Rob Pook
Rehearsal space provided by The Dance Place

This wasn't done for any reason, it wasn't a publicity stunt, it wasn't for an advertising campaign, it wasn't for any personal gain. We didn't make any money, and we didn't spend any money! We did it purely to make a few people smile. Everyone involved gave up their time and support completely free of charge, which makes this random act of fun all the more special.

Huge thanks to all the people who took part, from professional dancers, to people who had never danced before in their lives, thank you to everyone who gave up their time to help make this happen, and thanks to the Hounds Hill shopping centre!

I couldn't have done it without every single one of you.

they should all have been arrested, sprayed with tear gas and had the shit beaten out of them.

[Catlowman]

@mayfield4 Ah thanks for watching! *hugs*

[Sinnistrall]

This isn't a flash mob. It's just organised dancing in a public place.

[Catlowman]

@Sinnistrall Ah thank you! I wasn't sure. I feel much better now that I know. Thanks for watching :)

[eggpockets]

This gives me another valid reason why i moved away from Blackpool - What a fucking load of weirdos you all are - Whoever organised this must crave attention so much.

[Catlowman]

@eggpockets That'd be me, thanks for watching! :)

[topgrafter2007]

People put stuff on YouTube for fun and sharing, unfortunately its the best place for negative whinging unimportant people to feel powerful because they can voice there pointless opinions and wind people up without fear of a deserved slap! I liked the video! ;-)

[cameracameras]

Great fun we need more of this in blackpool.

[PotatoDesu]

@Sinnistrall That's what one type of flash mob is...

[GingerSnapzVlogz]

Hmm I totally have to get one of these going in Scotland... with the guys in kilts... could be eventful esp if they flip like the guy did in this! haha

[babsncats]

Very enjoyable - I don't want to see a "mob" in super synch and uniforms. This is fun - good onya.
