Street Beats is an exciting new project creating young drumming groups. Anyone under 18 can join in, you can be new to drumming or experienced!
To book contact Tim at tim@thesoundofthestreets.com or come along to the first session.
Initially based in Taunton and Bridgwater, the project is led by local young professional drummers Sean O’Hara, Emma Holbrook and Jo Meikle.
From the thunderous beats of Hip Hop to the infectious rhythms of Samba, rock, and Dohl, you’ll explore a wide range of musical styles and create your own unique sound. This isn’t just about playing music—it’s about forming a community, learning new skills, and having a blast while doing it. Street Beats will be offering taster sessions to as many groups as possible, as well as creating young drum groups, training up new young leaders and creating a ‘pilot’ band to develop ideas and demonstrate the idea.The new bands will perform on the streets, at local events like Carnival and Christmas Lights and could become a great community resource and showcase for the town’s talent.
The Project is funded by SEED Sedgemoor, the Make Music Repeat programme run by Actiontrack and Arts Council England, working with Bridgwater and Taunton Town Council.
