Gig 3: Rathbones Women's Lacrosse World Cup
We were on the field of play throughout the ceremony on 12th July 2017, starting with an energetic backdrop soundtrack for the athletes' parade, and ending with a joint performance of All Over The World together with the Rock Choir and groups of local school children.
In between, we performed our single Champion - for the first time with a live singer! Fellow drummer and Champion composer Denis Fernando took to the microphone and boosted athletes' morale with an affirmative performance of our charity single.
Under the watchful eye of HRH Princess Anne, the ceremony was streamed live on YouTube by Lacrosse TV. Watch the performance of Champion below, or the full ceremony on Lacrosse TV.
Gig 4: World Para Athletics Championships London 2017
The final of this one-week series of gigs could not have been selected any better:We returned to the location of our very first gig (which was the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony for those not familiar with our history): A welcome return back home to the London Stadium, as it is now known, to open another world sporting event: London 2017.
It was fantastic to fill the stadium again with the sound of our bucket drums!
And the workshop?
We have previously delivered drumming workshops for organisations such as Waitrose, the National Trust and the East London NHS Foundation Trust.

Earlier in the year, we drummed at many other interesting events. A catch up will follow later!
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.
