Allister Brown from Lisburn in County Antrim (I used to live there) set a new world record recently by playing the drums for 102 hours and 45 minutes. Yes. I did say hours, not minutes. He previously held the record in 2003 when he drummed for 58 hours and 17 minutes, and in 2004 for 78 hours. All in a good cause as well, raising about £5,000 cash for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

To qualify for the record he had to play recognisable tunes and not repeat any song with 4 hours. It wasn’t quite non-stop as he was allowed a 5 minute break for every hour he played. (Well, I guess he’d need the odd widdle or 2).
