Drumming Workshop with Stevie Shanks




Castlereagh Arts was proud to offer his residents a great opportunity to improve their musical dexterity and have a bit of fun on a drumming taster session with Stevie Shanks!







Stevie Shanks is the drummer for Flash Harry, the UK and Europe’s best known Queen tribute band who has been playing for more than 20 years to audiences from Belfast to Atlantic City and Dublin to Dubai.

He came to Castlereagh to give our drum aficionados some hot tips and a valuable insight into drumming. He explained the aspiring drummers the basics in playing the drum, and then everyone gave it a try…













Mabel was very enthusiastic and didn’t want to leave the seat to the next participant, Sean, James and Betty were brilliant, and even our very own Arts Assistant Priscilla gave it a go! The participants didn’t want to leave the Civic centre…they all agreed that one-hour taster session was too short and they suggested to have another drumming session which would last at least two hours! We’ll see what we can do, and we’ll keep you posted…
