"It was fantastic to have you at the show this year - we had a great response from the public and everyone was enjoying the drumming. The stage was uplifted and full of vitality - you all had a wonderful presence, and in addition I personally have found it a pleasure to work with you in the build up to the show. Your performance was fabulous, really energising and created a great buzz. It was fresh, wild and highly entertaining! You lifted the stage and you got feet dancing. Congratulations on such a wonderful performance and bringing something so vibrant to our event." Mind Body & Spirit Festival

"Drumroots were a fantastic addition to the Tree-Athlon, they played at the beginning and end of the race and their energetic drumming really urged the runners on and put a smile on everyone's faces. The group also led two workshops which were attended by lots of people of different ages and were a great success. Drumroots music is excellent and has an infectious rhythm that engages everyone who hears it and they are lovely, friendly people - book them for your event today!"
Nina de Groote, Manchester Tree-Athlon Event Organiser

"Drumroots were great at the launch! Great to have live music - it helped to create a real buzz and good atmosphere.  I would definitely consider having Drumroots at other events." Voluntary Acton Manchester
