Markethill 2010 - 1




After a hard week at the summer school, it was relaxation time - we headed to Markethill, Co. Armagh for the annual lambeg drumming match at which 75+ drums took part.
-
It is a night for the drumming elite to come together to pit their skills of drum preparation, skin selection and drummer skill to see who wins the coveted trophy.
-
As you can see from the couple of pics quite a crowd turned up to witness the evenings events unfold. It is truly a unique occasion and not for the feint hearted the noise is a times deafening but the atmosphere electric as the night moves on.
-
We had a reasonable night 2 drums there with 1 reaching round 3 - the final 25. Eric's drum came joint 11th, a respectful place.
