Pandemonium May Madness: Stadium Events, TV Coverage and Festivals
We are busy - so busy that the reporting on this site is outpaced by the sheer scale of our current gigs and lags behind, and we are still doing 100% of all tasks as volunteers, with none of us taking any salary, instead investing large amounts of their personal time and resources.
This investment paid off in May 2014 significantly:
- We played at Wembley Stadium twice - matching our biggest live gig today at The FA Cup Final, and returning just a day later for the Football Conference Playoff Final.
- Millennium Stadium was our first gig venue outside of England, and the very last ever Heineken Cup Final saw a 24-strong well-choreographed group of drummers in the opening ceremony before the rugby match Toulon vs Saracens.
- Earlier this month, gigs at a TEDx event and at Butser Ancient Farm for the Beltain Wicker Man Festival showed that we are still supporting smaller events - it's just that 'small' has a different meaning for us now.
- Our first appearance in a national TV show was a gig opening the Paul O'Grady Show on ITV!
- And on Friday 30 May, we will celebrate the life of honorary PD Stephen's story (✝ 14/05/2014) at Lichfield Cathedral.
So, what will be next?
