New Drumroots Uniform Printed By One69a
As part of our on-going re-brand process, and our old Drumroots branded clothing looking rather worn out and faded, we thought it time for new uniforms. We asked the good people at Manchester screen printers, One69a to make us a full new set of Tshirts, vests and shirts. Emblazed with our new logos in full colour and of course the website, the garments are looking really smart for us to wear at our work in schools, businesses and at concerts.

It’s nearly a month since Drumroots Live, held at Manchester’s fine venue: The Platt Chapel. This charity event held was to raise money and give all proceeds to Médecins Sans Frontières MSF (Doctors Without Borders) for their work in helping bring aid to people affected in the current East-African crisis. For those who didn’t know or missed this event, a short recap:

These problems are not only the cause of on-going conflict and mismanagement, but the addition of one of the worst droughts in the countries history.

After Drumroots Live. Thanks to all involved
As the dust settles around the Platt Chapel, we able to look back at last Friday’s Drumroots Live event with satisfaction that all is done and that the event was a great success. With a descent turn out, spectacular performances and huge effort from all the bands and artists present and a very moving presentation by Aisha from Medecins sans Frontieres, we were able to build a buzzing vibe in the space whilst still remembering why we were there. With the turn out alone we have raised a fair sum but with the many raffle tickets sold we, together have surely amounted a sum that can really make a difference to some people in East Africa, Watch this space for an official amount raised and to be sent to MSF very soon when we’ve totted it all up.
