Margrove Gig alfresco among the african plants

A rather different experience to anything we've done before : we ended up in this delightful african hut with no roof. The drum workshop group photo is one from Helen Drum on the Ning .

The rest show what was going on around us.

Not so Sunny Saltburn Easter Sunday 12 April

Just a brief note about this Sunday. We didn't take any photos, but loads of passers by did, so perhaps some of these will appear on the web?

.

A smaller gathering than usual with Chrispy, Cowbell, Bongo Col [remind me, what is bodding?] , Drumstick, and myself Ackywoe. And the usual assortment of passers by, kids & adults.

.

Looked as if the weather was going to be warm, but the sun hid away for most of the afternoon, and a chilly breeze meant we had to keep drumming to keep warm.

.

But every cloud has a rhythmic lining , the small circle meant we could actually hear each other, and it had its high points. I developed another way to get a two-for-one percussion with a shaker. And Col's lagerphone proved versatile too, both in rhythm and in doubling as dumbells.
