Some of the testimonies received:

"As an African charity we thought African Drumming was a great choice for our Christmas party entertainment. It was a wonderful experience, easy to participate, great for all ages. It was incredible how our mixed group of directors , staff and volunteers just got stuck in and made great sounds with the drums.  A memorable evening that is still being talked about many weeks on."

"On a personal level, I feel that drumming has improved my general creativity. I generally express myself more effectively since starting Mike's course."
Stephen Woldfenden, Journalist

"Many thanks indeed for the workshop which you ran - it struck just the right note for us and enabled all the things we wanted to happen to actually happen, so we were uplifted, energised and socialised ready to operate as a humane and sensitive team in the term ahead.

 The tone was set in a really imaginative way to give a most positive start to the year which I appreciated greatly - we must do it again sometime!"
Nigel Gilhespy, Headteacher - Matravers School

"Mike was a total inspiration to work with at the prison - the women experienced some life changing, creative interludes which resulted in a CD of original music. Many thanks."
Jill Miller, 'Writers in Residence'

"We were all amazed at the quality of the sounds we made!"  

"Within a few minutes, the group was pounding out a basic rhythm. Mike improvising over the top, indicating (in a way none of believed at the time), what we would be capable of at the end."
