While he was in town, Craig of course oversaw a new record attempt.

An amazing 2,516 people came together at Chadwicks Wexford Park to form the largest tin whistle ensemble, beating the previous record of 1,015 that had stood since 2010.

But enough of looking back, now we’re looking to the future!

And it’s your turn to Be Part of It.

GWR70: Be Part of It isn’t really about Guinness World Records… it’s about people like you – ordinary people who, as well as leading busy and full lives, have set themselves a goal, however big or small, and are working towards achieving it.

We’re hoping to reach more future record breakers than ever before, so they too can experience the joy and excitement of attempting and participating in a record-breaking challenge, and maybe even the elation of one day becoming a Guinness World Records title holder. When it comes to record breaking, nothing beats taking part.
