The Pride of PortadownFor me this drum encapsulates the very essence of the fife and lambeg drum tradition here in Ulster.
-
A single fifer with bowler hat, traditional Orange Sash & fife, setting the time for a group of lambeg drums & drummers just a short distance behind. You can just feel the atmosphere and hear the crescendo of noise - as this colourful spectacle of the fife and lambeg drum goes marching past.

I am not too sure who owns the drum now, I am aware it was once owned by Mr. John Oliver from Portadown; however it was painted by the very talented Willie Magowan from Garvagh in Co. Londonderry.
