News & Events

After a successful taster session we have started running monthly drum sessions for psychiatric inpatients at one of our local hospitals.

We're hoping to start similar sessions at two other hospitals in the area.

Why drumming?

Percussion lifts spirits, promotes self-esteem and eases feelings of isolation.

Focusing on rhythm promotes relaxation and helps reduce anxiety and frustration.

We believe very strongly in the therapeutic qualities of music. Contact us if you'd us to visit your group!

Just been confirmed that we will be running a family drum circle at Wirral Folk On The Coast Festival from 4.309 to 5.30 on Saturday June 5th. See more details at their website http://www.wirralfolkonthecoast.com

Great weekend in Southport working with the Guides as part of their World Thinking Day. 2000 Rainbows, Brownies and Guides passed through the Floral Hall Convention Centre at Southport over the weekend taking part in a wide range of musical and dance activities. Exhausting but fun!

Last week saw me yacking away about drumming on BBC Radio Lancashire afternoon show with Gilly. I have to confess I assumed Gilly was female until I did a bit of research! We talked a bit then we after a bit of a practise played a bit with Gilly and his producer.

Then this week it's been the turn of Rebeca Want on BBC Radio Manchester to plunge into live drumming on the airwaves!

We were very happy to help journalist Jill Tunstall with an article about family-friendly events. Read her rather wonderful piece here at http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2008/sep/20/family1

Blimey, not much time off this summer!

Playschemes, holiday clubs, weekend festivals and Scout camps mean no chance of holiday until mid September. Then back to schools work. Happy holidays!

We were delighted to asked back to Barnados Big Toddle at the end of June in Heaton Park Manchester. What a great day it is! The little ones bash the living daylights out of the drums, go for a bit a walk, more bashing, a biscuit, a drink, a story then off for a nap. Fabulous fun for all who came down. See you next year I hope!
