The Olympic Suffragettes are back

The Suffragettes from the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony performed their Opening Ceremony routine again - this time as a real protest in front of the Houses of Parliament in Westminster. UK Feminista organised a rally for equal rights for women. The demonstrators included Dr Helen Pankhurst and Laura Pankhurst, descendants of Emmeline Pankhurst who led the suffragette movement in the late 19th/early 20th century.

A group of Pandemonium Drummers sided with the Suffragettes and supported the performance in true Olympic spirit.
The media reported widely on the rally. Below are a few pointers to the coverage.

ABOUTPandemonium Drummers

The Pandemonium Drummers were originally put together by London 2012 Ceremonies for the Pandemonium segment of Danny Boyle's spectacular Olympic Opening Ceremony. Following the Ceremony, the volunteer drummers kept on performing at a variety of events.

Based on their extensive training, they performed at other Opening Ceremonies, including the UEFA Champions League Final 2013, the FA Cup Final 2014, and the Heineken Cup Final 2014, and at a variety of large and small festivals as well as sports and community events. The Pandemonium Drummers are a returning act in London's major parades, including the London New Years' Day Parade, St Patrick's Day Parade, and the Lord Mayor's Show, and they coined Cheer Drumming, supporting runners at major sports events across the capital and beyond. The Pandemonium Drummers have supported the Special Olympics, the Teenage Cancer Trust, and a wide range of other charities.

The Pandemonium Drummers are a constituted association with charitable aims, and are working on a non-profit basis as volunteers.
