Drumming for Lindy

On 12 March the Aileen Currie hall was filled with enthusiastic supporters of Lindy and her family's effort to raise funds to cover the costs of finding a bone marrow match. This time it was not to give blood, but to drum for Lindy.

From 18:30 staff members were there to sell tickets to admit Wynberg families and friends to the Rhythm Workshop gig. It was a superb evening - poignant and filled with laughter and life and lasted only an hour and a quarter. For those who attended, the time could not have been better spent. What a way to end the day! There was sheer delight on the faces of numerous drummers as the Blundells took us through rhythmic and musical delights with their drums and tubes. There were smiles and laughter as this disparate group under the (silent) leadership of The Rhythm Workshop drummed and made music together and redefined itself as an orchestra. It is an awesome experience to hear the sounds of drumming that a three-hundred plus grouping can make!

Apart from the enormous fun we had in participating, one of the finest moments during the evening had to include the time when we were able to sit back and listen to the singing of this enormously talented group - comments such as "This is the best thing I have ever done" and "They must be the best South African band we have" were not uncommon. It was an awesome evening, and the generosity of the Blundells and The Rhythm Workshop did not go unappreciated.
