Earlier on this year I was fortunate to be in Bristol for a conference at the same time that the Gromit Unleashed trail was on. From the number of Facebook postings I saw about the trail from my friends in the south west and the £2.3m raised by the auction for the Bristol Children’s Hospital, it looks like it was a fantastic success. It was also good to see that the organisers went to the trouble of assessing the economic impact of the event on Bristol’s economy – judged to be £123m. Let’s hope that one of the outcomes is that it encourages other cities to try out such ideas in the future. I can think of a couple of things that might work well in Derby …
So especially for my youngest daughter, here’s a picture I took of Bumble Boogie Gromit, inspired by Jools Holland. The only thing this Gromit can’t do that Jools can is walk backwards and shout Image may be NSFW.
