Durham Streets Summer Festival...

The Mighty Gareth was performed magic and comedy but ended his act with a perilous stunt, juggling a chain saw and some balls...in the image below he had noticed that I was recording and stopped to pose specially. The person helping him was only known as Sheldon from Darlington and he was a very good sport. TMG has even performed in front of Michael Jackson...

To be fair I have edited the video's and should you see any of them performing at a venue near you they do much more and change the act. At the end of my video of Gareth, others are available to click onto, he can be seen sword swallowing.

They all did well playing to perhaps smaller crowds than usual due to the weather and being at the disadvantage of where they had been placed, away from the market place which was packed with stalls. Tomorrow the Market Place is available.

The Fanti Acrobats from Ghana performed all kinds of stunts but my battery power ran out, I returned on Sunday and managed to get a little more of their act. They limbo danced, did break dancing, spun plates, balanced items, ate fire, there was a contortionist and more.

I still missed some of the performance trying to find a suitable place amongst the crowd and children have a habit of getting up and walking across your line of sight. I put images and video below. There are various video's on You Tube where they appear doing different stunts and sometimes there are more in the troupe.
