Europeans sing about Airports

Saturday 16th May 2009

On the day of the Eurovision Song Contest, there will be simultaneous airport musical flashmobs across Europe - taking place in 6 airports.

(Heathrow, Paris, Frankfurt, Schiphol, Brussels and perhaps Dublin)

 JOIN  Heathrow Flashmobbers as the English part of a Europe-wide Flash Mob 

 In the departures section of Heathrow Terminal 1 

 12 noon - on the dot - flash your red t-shirt*

Then we'll get singing!

 Airport expansion plans across Europe threaten to undermine all our efforts to stop climate change. The aviation industry like to say “if we don’t expand Heathrow, then flights will just go to Frankfurt or Paris”.   

But that’s not true.   Expansion plans all over Europe are opposed by millions of people and they cannot go ahead if we are to make the necessary cuts in emissions that scientists advise.

 Join the first simultaneous flashmobs across Europe to say 

 NO to noise, NO to air pollution and NO to climate change !

Each airport will sing their entry to the Eurovision Song Contest being held that evening in Moscow.  

 We'll be singing other memorable Eurovision classics from the past.   (Alternative words !   Song-sheets provided !)

The songs chosen are, decade by decade:


Just a Little Bit                 (Gina Gee, 8th in 1996)
Making Your Mind Up     (Bucks Fizz, won in 1981)
Waterloo                          (Abba, won in 1974)
Congratulations              (Cliff Richard, came second in 1968)
Join us!

 Bring your friends, wear a red t-shirt, bring instruments, download your favourite Eurovision song onto your ipod or phone, wear a silly hat or wig, dust off your dancing shoes, let’s party!   Let's show musical solidarity with our European neighbours!

 All over by one o’clock.

Tell BAA to get in tune !     No Third Runway!

PARIS                  Stop à l'Expansion des Aéroports

FRANKFURT      Stopp Flughafenausbau

AMSTERDAM    Stop uitbreiding vliegvelden

BRUSSELS        Stop à l'Expansion des Aéroports
