Resounding Rhythms from Wrekin Writers

'Yes this is Wrekin Writers,' Bryan said as a new member walked into our workshop on Saturday morning. The explanation was needed because when Drew walked in he found twenty of us with drums between our knees banging out African rhythms.

Okay so we're different but we had a lot of fun.

Getting to grips with the djembe (the drum)

Brenda had no trouble mastering the art. I pity the drum though.

To add interest other instruments were added. And the thing Angeline is holding, was dead. Mike is concentrating hard, hence the expression on his face.

 But no matter how much noise we made, we still didn't manage to wake Robin.

Saturday was a great workshop and it was interesting to use music, sound and rhythm to communicate rather than words. Our Chairman's Challenge is to write something inspired by the what we did. That should make for very intesting reading.
