Ulster Scots - Lambeg Drums 8

Thank you for all the e-mails regarding the Lambeg Drum posts - they are very popular.

Themed Drums: 'The Cock Drum' is a recurring theme in the Lambeg Drum tradition, this drum is called 'The Aghalee Hero' and is owned by D. Weir of Killwarlin. At the top of the drum you can see ' Come Listen To Me Boys' - excellent drum & painting.

I took a school trip to Willie Magowan's in 2009 and one of the boy's looked at this photograph and asked Willie - 'Did you paint that there big chicken on that there drum' - priceless!
