Bentham Bonfire are looking to recruit dedicated volunteers for their new drumming band ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐งจ๐
Due to great success of last year's Bentham bonfire they are planning to add a little more spectacle, which includes a parade around the Auction Mart ground before the bonfire.
As part of that they would love to have their own drumming group with you involved!
They are looking for volunteers (adults and accompanied children aged 12+) to join in and get everyone warmed up and in the mood for the big event. The drummers will lead the parade before the lighting of the bonfire, and will play again before the fabulous fireworks begin!
Bonfire committee member Chris Dancer will lead the drummers. Chris and along with his wife Diane run the popular Eeh Bah Drum drum circles in both Bentham and Ingleton.
Experience not necessary and all instruments provided, but if you have done some drumming before you will be very welcome to join. They will be playing simple rhythms that draw inspiration from drumming traditions from all over the world, as well as creating some of their own.
Regular practice sessions will be needed to learn the rhythms, and a reasonable level of mobility is needed as you will be walking with the instruments on the night.
Please do get in contact if you are only one you know is interested and include your email address.
You can find them on Facebook by searching "Bentham Bonfire" or head online to benthambonfire.co.uk
They look forward to hearing from you!
