Watch the K-Foundation Burn a Million Quid

Watch the K-Foundation Burn a Million Quid is the title of a 16mm colour documentary film filmed by The KLF's roadie Gimpo, who owns the only print of the film and shows it occasionally at art events. It consists mostly of bundles of UK 50 pound notes being put on a bonfire by Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, who obtained the money from their successful popular music career as the KLF, the Timelords and various other aliases. The film lasts around 50 minutes, and was described by one reviewer as, "Rather boring." A coffee table book was also made of the film, published in the UK by Ellipsis containing stills and viewer reactions (ISBN 0954165659).

Quid




Burning £1,000,000

Allegedly, they burnt a million pounds in an abandoned boathouse on Jura, near the village of Ardfin on the 23rd of August 1994.

It took just over an hour for Cauty and Drummond to pile the wads onto the flames and the spectacle was witnessed by a freelance journalist.

This should be balanced against an Omnibus TV documentary on the burning, where the KLF's bank confirmed that a million pounds in cash had been withdrawn.

Unfortunately, the supporting film also showed a bank statement with a credit transfer of £1,300,000 going into the Foundation's account just a few days later.

Not that we suggest anything. Probably coincidence.
