2. Junk Drum Kit is well on the way

We used bits from the found Yamaha kit to make a Junk Drum Kit. Kirwan was there with her grandmother Gillian, who took a lot of the photos above. A few days later they visited again with Kirwan's mum Carmen, a wonderful drummer and percussionist. Together they improvised this piece which also served to initiate the almost-complete junk drum kit (with apologies to David Murphy).

​Kids ruled at the Music Supermarket today as the first of two days of School Holiday sessions took place. We hosted little kids in the morning and bigger kids in the afternoon - they were all very interested in the contents of the shelves. Wallace Labbett's sheet metal violin proved a big hit, as did the other Jigarre Junkstrements kindly on loan. The sessions run again next Wednesday 12 April and are open to ANY AND ALL children - all details at here
