People we work with, play with, who use our drums, we admire, or just enjoy their company for a good session and a pint or two. And a few other interesting links too…

Festivals
Sadly all of these events have been cancelled for 2020 due to the Covid-19 lockdown, but these are some of our favourite events, and we look forward to the 2021 season.
World Music Workshop Festival formerly known as Drum Camp, near Bungay, Suffolk, 9-13 July. Trader stall and workshops.
Ely Folk Festival in Ely, Cambridgeshire, 10-12 July
In 2020 we will be missing the festival as vendors, but John will be playing his BODdrum (among other things!) with the Dennis Cuddles Starlight Band Saturday evening in the Ceilidh slot.
Folk East at Glemham Hall, Little Glemham, Suffolk, 21 -23 August. Trader stall.
And More
Hurricane Airbrush Art – award winning airbrush artist, we love their work as you can see on our Custom Finishes and Uniques pages.
RAL Colour Palette – the standard (but extensive!) colour set for industrial powder coating. The basic BODDrum uses a matte black finish of this type, but you can customise your BODdrum by choosing another colour from this range.
