Drumroots Perform Walking Carnival Acts for Nando’s at Pride Festivals 2013 (Video)
The Drumroots performance team with friends and guest artists recently enjoyed a succession of fantastic gigs at this summer’s Pride festivals across the country. Once again working for Nando’s we have so far been a part of Pride parades in Blackpool, Newcastle, Liverpool and Leeds. For these events we take to the streets carrying our drums for high energy walking performance to bring joy, rhythm and movement to the crowds of thousands joining in the carnival, and yet more as entertained bystanders. Accompanied by the enthusiastic Nandos staff bearing masks and banners, as well as a dancing chicken, we make quite a spectacle of ourselves as we get involved in the festivities. (more…)
Drumroots Perform at The Nandos Team Event: The Nandos Grill Off.
As part of our on-going working relationship with the Nando’s family, we were recently invited to perform at their staff only event; The Nando’s Grill Off. The event was the national final of a competition where by teams of Nando’s staff compete with their colleagues from other restaurant branches to cook the very best grilled chicken. It seems to us that the Nando’s staff really know how to have a good time! As they arrived, they all seemed in the mood for a fun evening, turning up with costume, props and even chants to support their own branch and designated cook who was to represent them on the grill. The prize was to travel to Sydney, Australia to complete in the Nando’s international Grill Off! (more…)
Drumroots African Drumming Workshops for Beechwood Cancer Care
We have very much enjoyed our recent work for the Beechwood Cancer Care group. Based in Stockport, Beechwood Cancer Care is a charity who works to support both patients and all those who are affected by cancer, disease or loss. We have made two trips to the charity’s HQ to deliver African drumming workshops is their peaceful and attractive garden space.
