About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

With my "Percussion Fun for Everyone!"and
"Drum For Your Life"sessions, I can show you
how Drum Circles are a great way to instigate,
co-create and celebrate your group's own piece of
musical artistry.

"Storyteller and percussion funster, Laura has
has been entertaining audiences of young and old
in London, Hampshire and Dorset for nearly a
decade. Using a mixture of music, percussion,
singing and storytelling, she effectively
illustrates life in other countries and cultures,
encouraging people to develop their own creative
identity in the process."

I am also mad keen on all things 'eco',but style
myself more of an eco-WORRIER than an eco-WARRIER
... I keep chickens, make my own soap and grow my own
veggies too.

My Interests

I'm thinking a lot about how drums and other percussion instruments can be used in a therapeutic relationship.

I'd like to meet:

I'd really like to meet other people - if possible,
local to me - who are Passionate About Percussion.
With a view to getting together to compose and record
some original stuff! I have all these drums, but I can't
play more than about three at any one time
all on my own...

Music:

Let's just say that I have very catholic tastes. I play the guitar and will have a go on any instrument that you hit, either with your hands or a pair of sticks.I'm an enthusiastic amateur on all of these:
Djembe
Congas
Rebolo
Darabouka/Doumbek
Frame drums
Dun-Duns
Moroccan Tabla
Berimbau

Television:

I am addicted to "Law and Order: Criminal Intent". I will watch almost anything at all that Vincent d'Onofrio is in ..." God help me, I still watch the Dead Zone, even though it is pretty crappy nowadays.

Heroes:

I have very mixed feelings about this photograph. I am delighted to see a brand new picture of VDO, but worried that he doesn't look particularly comfortable. Of course, the fact that he is being phot...
