The group is ever growing and always welcomes new members. We practice in The New Picket, New Bird St (off Jason St) in the heart of the Independent District in Liverpool every Monday night from 8pm. You don't need to bring your own drum or to have had any previous experience - all we ask is that you are enthusiastic and willing to learn - we believe very strongly in inclusion. Subs are only £3 per session and go towards purchasing new equipment. For further information, come along to a practice and introduce yourself. You may also contact Maeve or Lizinha.
