Bez helps set maracas shaking world record

Bez, Shaun Ryder and Clint Boon led 406 people in a mass maracas shake in Manchester to mark Xfm's launch, setting a Guinness World Record.

Happy Mondays star Bez, an experienced maracas shaker, has helped set a new maracas shaking world record. He was joined by Shaun Ryder and Clint Boon and over four hundred members of the public in a mass shake to mark the launch of Xfm in Manchester, leading the crowd of 406 maracas wielders in a rendition of Mondays track 'Step On'. Guinness Book Of Records editor Craig Glenday told the Daily Record: "This is one of those cool mass-participation records. The whole point is to get together with mates and have fun."
