The Big Bang Festival in Dublin

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Well Last week the Big Bang Festival percussoin festival was a resounding success. In it’s second year Big Bang 3 (confusing I know) built on the success of the festival last year.

Workshop highlights for me was an Indian Music lecture by Rashmi V Bhatt, a bodhran workshop by Robbie Harris and Brian Flemming and a djembe workshop by Seckou Keita.

There was also great performances in the Evening. Highlights for me getting to play with Seckou Keita. I really enjoyed that. For the grand finally everyone mobbed the stage to join Hearbeat percussion in a big open Jam. There must’ve been every kind of drum in the known universe up there.

Congratulations to Brian and Robbie on all the hard work they did this year. I for one appreciate it and wish them all the best of luck with it next year.
