Ulster Scots - Lambeg Drum - 2


Under the Arch in Newtownards 11th July - Each year all local drums and drummers decent on Newtownards and congregate under the Arch in celebration of the Lambeg Drum Tradition in the area, but also to Celebrate King William III Glorious Victory at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.

Here are two very well known drummers on the left is Alan Watson from Belfast, playing the Agincourt Queen - the drum is owned by Bobby Magreechan from Bangor. On the right is George Douglas Holmes, drummer and musician of some note from Donaghadee, playing the Cock Drum owned by Stephen Gordon.
