I had a great time telling a story about Nala and the Rain Drum to the local Rainbows. As they left the heavens opened and one little girl proudly said to her Mum "we did this"

What a fabulous evening we had at Bugbrooke rainbows 🌈
JanJan was brilliant with our girls and great fun was had by all
Thanks so much for our visit

Sorry folks, I have had to move the workshop from the 5th February to the following week of the 12th. I hope you can still make it.

We’ll start together, find the rhythm, and then let it flow — with a little gentle leadership sprinkled in to keep us connected.
Just hands on drums, listening, responding, and playing together.
Bring your rhythm & Food and Drinks to share.🪘
No Pressure * No Performing* Just Fun*

Why I always begin with clapping..........

It gently warms the hands, brings attention into the body, and helps the group find a shared rhythm before we move to the djembe.

Clapping supports focus and coordination, but it also does something deeper — it helps settle the nervous system, reduce overwhelm, and create a sense of safety and connection in the group.

Then we drum.
