Episode 77 Maiden City Garrison Fife and Drumming Club - Mark Roxborough

Made to Parade

The second episode in our new season finds us in conversation with Mark Roxborough from the Maiden City Garrison Fife and Lambeg Drumming Club. There is a rich historical tradition surrounding fife and Lambeg drumming in Northern Ireland and a tradition that more and more people are starting to reconnect with. Mark talks us through how the Garrison started and some of the events that they have been involved in and the benefits that has brought to personal lives and also the wider community. With the rich tradition of flute bands throughout the country this is another means for community musicians to connect with their culture and ensure that it doesn't die out. A big thank you to Mark for taking the time to share and the whole team at New Gate Arts and Culture Centre for allowing us to use the premises to record the episode. Join us next week when we speak to Lisa Williamson.
