With support from the Heritage Lottery Fund we are launching ‘Journey of the Drum’ a new project for young people aged 13-19 who are invited to take part in a musical journey from historical West Africa to the inner cities of contemporary UK. Participants will work with master drummers, DJ’s, oral historians and archivists to explore the significance of African beats in Hip Hop, Drum ‘n’ Bass, Grime and Dubstep. Workshops will run between may and December and culminate in an exhibition and performances.
Please note all children have to register before they can attend a workshop. Places are free and offered on a first come first served basis.To avoid disappointment please book early, you can pick up registration/consent forms from The Drum Box Office.
