Fair banging the drum for talent in Redditch

Ross Crawford 2nd Jul, 2017   0

THE Palace Theatre and the UK National Drum Fair are to hold their next drumming event at the Redditch venue next Thursday, July 6.

Starting at 7.30pm, the monthly drum clinic is hosted by Matt Green and he’ll be inviting some of the UK’s top drumming talent to perform upstairs in the Palace’s Studio.

It’s an opportunity for fans to get close to performers, ask questions and connect with other drummers during the evening.

There will also be a chance of a deserving local player every month to join the clinic via an open audition held a few weeks before.




To apply, visit the Palace’s website – and the opportunity is open to everyone from a student and amateur to someone playing regularly in a band. There is no age limit.

On Thursday Matt will be joined by Cybadrummer Ed Freitas.


Known for his relentless energy and passion for music, Ed’s personality and approach is infectious, inspiring and motivating.

These attributes together with his skillset as a multi-instrumentalist have led him to work globally, most notably as an independent artist, session artist, clinician, facilitator, presenting masterclasses and performing with his unique ‘circular’ signature rig.

Also often referred to as Cybadrummer or Cyba-X, Ed energises crowds whenever he performs, from large festivals to stadiums, clubs and venues around the world.

Tickets are just £10 from the Palace Theatre box office or via their website.
