A 4 year drumming project working with vulnerable children in Kinship Care.

We turned ourselves into an Afro-Brazilian Street Band playing a fusion of Brazilian carnival & Orixa styles

We performed our evolving set of music to a packed Musselburgh Brunton Hall (500+ people) 3 years in a row as part of the National Youth Choir of Scotland events. Regular workshops led to several performances including  the Scotland National Conference of Kinship Care and 4 Christmas Kinship Care parties.

The project now continues to evolve since my move to Bristol, under the expert creative guidance of Oi Musica and Where'stheone?

 

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience, understanding, commitment & skills in developing the young peoples confidence & musical ability. The young people really enjoyed working with you & gained so much out of their performances, we will all miss you.”
— Liz Johnston, Families Together Project Manager, Mentor
“Pete, you have done a great job working with the children and the fact that that they were keen to do a performance was testament to your encouragement and confidence building.
Very many thanks for all the effort in making the children feel special.”
