Readipop are pleased to announce that Bellowhead’s drummer Pete Flood will be leading ‘Bellowhead Beats’ on the evening of reflections 2014.
‘Bellowhead Beats’ is an intimate, informal and informative drum and rhythm masterclass with a twist.
Reflections 2014 presents Pete Flood – Bellowhead Beats. Our festival finale is the first ever public rhythm masterclass with Pete Flood, drummer with the muti-award winning folk band Bellowhead. This intimate masterclass will provide rhythmic inspiration to all ‘drum heads’ and rhythm lovers from newbies to teachers and pros.
Pete Flood is a composer, percussionist, producer and builder of really shoddy instruments.
Throughout his career he has been consistently impoverished by a tendency towards eclecticism which, in compensation, has allowed him to work with Folk heroes Bellowhead, physical theatre maverick Guy Dartnell, literate rockers Bows, site specific dance company Stacked Wonky, Moroccan drum and bass producer U-Cef, Matthew Herbert’s favourite Japanese folk punks Cicala Mvta, disability-led arts organisation Heart ‘n’ Soul, free improvisers Steve Beresford and Charles Hayward and opera company Tête à Tête. He appears on albums by Tim Van Eyken, Union Wireless, Abdel Ali Slimani, Vicki Swan and Jonny Dyer, George Papavgeris, Setsubun Bean Unit and the Farmyard Animals, and contributes his own arrangements wherever people are especially tolerant. He teaches the percussion at Kingston University.
6.30 – 8.30pm.
