Volunteer Drummers from the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony : 'bold, insistent, euphoric, celebratory & just short of chaotic' (Danny Boyle).

Six years ago we presented our most poignant self-developed performance #SymphonyofWaves on @FstoneHbourArm. It was commissioned by @1418NOW for #DannyBoyle's #PagesOfTheSea #Armistice100 commemorations. Read the story: https://t.co/02ZQVjrH40

It's 20.12 UK time, 12 years after the unsurpassable @London2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony kicked off the Pandemonium Drummers. To celebrate our 12th anniversary, we created our first YouTube Short - sing along! https://t.co/p9A5l5qmiT

We even had a short exchange with @dariogofficial witty insights about the tune. https://t.co/hX3vO61akD
Love this instructional video for Pandemonium Drummers’ live Carnaval de Paris. Side note: during 1998 recording I asked the guitarist to play a “Deck Chair” rhythm (quaver dead note, quaver chord) then “Double Deck Chair” which is 16ths as a variation. Hope that makes sense? 🤣

Very sad to hear about the passing of @dariogofficial. During COVID when we were unable to rehearse together we decided we'd still try and have fun so we used his iconic tune #CarnevaldeParis to make into a performance. #dariog #RIPdarioG

“The volunteer group, which has partnered with Barnardo’s since 2013, planned to accompany their four-hour-long playlist until their speaker ran out” writes @thetimes. Of course we stuck to our plan to cheer on all runners regardless of their timings! https://t.co/C1DKjP8lHS

About 50,000 people completed the race, including Chris Evans, Matt Hancock and a group of Ukrainian amputees

We were still going strong several hours into the @LondonMarathon supporting over 200 @barnardos runners. At mile 24.5 we hope our drumbeats helped all the amazing runners reach the finishing line.

What a brilliant day @LondonMarathon cheerdrumming with @barnardos around 24 miles by Temple Station. Fantastic atmosphere as usual. Bit chilly for us but probably good for the incredible 50,000+ runners.

David was struggling in the latter stages of last years @LondonMarathon. He stopped, grabbed the sticks off our man Gary and drummed along. This gave him the motivation he needed to finish. We'll be there on Sunday to inspire everyone on! #thisiswhywedothis

So very sad to hear that Paul O’Grady has died. We once had the pleasure of opening his ITV teatime show. Paul did his inimitable comedy turn as he attempted to drum with us. RIP Paul/Lily. #PaulOGrady
