Leicester Square in central London played host to the band's first and last gig on Monday. Other gigs took place in Camden, Soho and Islington. A Guinness Book of Records official was present to ratify the record, which was previously set by German group Kansas City in Hamburg three years ago. They played 26 concerts in 12 hours. The Buck Brothers were attempting to play 30 concerts by 2300 GMT. But by 2130 GMT they had beaten the world record and with some venues cancelling their intended gigs, there were no more venues left on their list to play at. "We're absolutely ecstatic," said band member Andy Duke. "It was a real challenge. But we did it. I'm delighted, it's fantastic." Mr Duke and other band members Pete Sellers and Horatio Agar met at a Buddhist disco in Stoke Newington, north London, in 2005. The band played their final gig, the 28th, after celebrating in Leicester Square. |
