Meet the Editor in Chief of GWR


Meet the man who is the Editor in Chief of the biggest selling copyright book in history! With more than 100 million books sold around the world in more than 25 languages, it can’t be easy for this record breaking editor!

Craig Glenday’s first memory of Guinness World Records was being fascinated and terrified in equal measure by the experience of American park ranger Roy C. Sullivan. It was Christmas Day, and a ten-year-old Craig read, slack-jawed, about the man who survived a record seven lightning strikes (only to then take his own life, spurned in love).

From that moment on, Craig became obsessed with life’s extremes, although as a young boy he never considered the possibility that one day he might become the editor of the very book that first fired his interest.

Read more about Craig - one of the most influential people in the world of record breaking!

17-Year-Old to Attempt to Break Upside-Down Juggling World Record


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


17-Year-Old to Attempt to Break Upside-Down Juggling World Record

August 20, 2007 – 17-year-old Erik Kloeker of the world-renowned “Pickled Brothers Circus Sideshow” will attempt to break the Upside-Down Juggling World Record while suspended upside down over the Ohio River.

The record attempt will take place on September 20th, 2007 at 7:00 pm in Newport, KY. Upside-down juggling is one of the hardest forms of juggling, and requires an incredible amount of abdominal strength and endurance as well as coordination and concentration.

This record attempt is the culmination of four years of training for the young juggler. Kloeker, 17 of Cold Spring, KY is optimistic. "I've been training for this for over four years... I hope I can do it!"

Kloeker exclaimed. "I know I can juggle for hours without dropping when I am upright, but hanging upside down is another story! Gravity will be working against me, and I don't want to lose my balls in the Ohio River!"

The current upside-down juggling record is 55.9 seconds, and was set in Australia in 2005. Kloeker hopes to break that record by juggling upside down for at least 70 seconds. The record attempt will take place on historic Newport, Kentucky’s riverfront as Kloeker is suspended high above the mighty Ohio River.

The record attempt will be open to the public and media, and will kick off the Pickled Brothers Sideshow's run at the haunted riverboat the USS Nightmare. The USS Nightmare is America’s premiere haunted steamboat. Entering its 16th season, this popular Halloween attraction returns to the Newport waterfront in 2007.

Rated annually among the nation's best haunted attractions, the USS Nightmare is constructed on a real riverboat and is said to house some of the Ohio River’s most notorious spirits. Kloeker is a world champion juggler, as well as an accomplished fire-eater, comedian, and the world's youngest sword swallower.

Kloeker has been performing professionally at venues nationwide for 4 years since learning to juggle at the age of 13. This will be his first record attempt. The USS Nightmare is located on the Ohio River at 101 Riverboat Row in Newport, KY (www.ussnightmare.com). The Pickled Brother Circus Sideshow has been performing innovative sideshow feats such as whip-cracking, fire-eating, bed of nails, and sword swallowing since 2002 (http://www.pickledbrothers.com/).

Media is invited to attend this historic event.

For media inquiries or more information, contact Kloeker’s manager, Travis Fessler at +1 (877)-NAIL-BED or +1(859) 916-5401 or via e-mail at Travis@travisfessler.com

Andy Kyriacou of MODERN ROMANCE pulls out of world record drumming attempt

July 2007

Sadly, strain on his legs led to Andy Kyriacou of 80's pop legends MODERN ROMANCE having to pull out of his attempt to set a new world record for continous drumming to music.






The world record attempt was a fund-raiser for BBC Children In Need hosted by The Academy Basingstoke.







Andy's publicist, John Hicks of Headline Promotions, Press & PR said: "This was a very credible attempt at setting a new world record for drumming as Andy achieved a staggering 12 hours. He had set himself a target of 100 hours so he was disappointed but his attempt, along with other fundraisers at The Academy, rasised over £1200 so Pudsey Bear will be delighted!"
