Thoughts on going to a silent disco in Salisbury Cathedral

the Big Church is a surprisingly good venue for a silent disco
after a few minutes it didn’t seem particularly weird to be dancing and drinking amongst the tombs of Bishops
it did, though, cross my mind that it was odd to be wandering around on my way to the loo, mildly sozzled, within a few yards of the Magna Carta
this probably reflects my low-church agnosticism, and reverence for all things lefty
the privacy of the headphones has a disinhibiting effect. It does have a dance-like-nobody’s-watching feel
I’m #TeamGreenChannel (pop), rather than Blue (rock and indie) or Red (‘urban’), apart from the reggae
but it was great being able to switch when there was a boring song
it was fun being able to watch people doing the Macarena, while listening to something else
although I do actually love the Macarena
it’s not at all silent
part of the fun was listening to people singing along
especially on the big anthem-y songs. Hundreds of people singing along to Oasis, unaccompanied, was fab
