A big thank you to Dave at Jabba Jabba Jembe for the fantastic African Drum Workshop we had on site last week.

The team really enjoyed learning to play the rhythms and building on it to create a unique sound.I was delighted to see everyone relaxing after a long week of meetings, it was the perfect wind down and a great way to have some fun

Everyone enjoyed the ‘free styling’ and really got into the spirit of the event by trying out all the different instruments.

It was a fun and relaxed team building exercise – something different to try, I highly recommend it!
