Entertainment

Live entertainment from

''The Sileby Slappers''

Julie Wright leads "The Sileby Slappers" - a small group of enthusiastic adults who study and perform traditional West African drumming, meeting for weekly rehearsals in Sileby.  There are three main sounds in West African drumming - bass, tone and slap.  When Julie moved here 7 years ago, she couldn't resist giving her group its current name.

The Slappers (as they call themselves) look forward to performing at the gala, between 2-3pm, and will be joined by some of Julie's other students for a larger group piece at the end of their set.  This group will include children from schools in Birstall and Anstey, where Julie teaches regularly, as well as students from a group who meet in Melton at Sage Cross Church from time to time.

For more information about Julie and her work, please visit www.juliewrightpercussion.co.uk. She is always open to working in new schools and communities, and would be happy to set up a beginners group in Sileby if there's enough interest.

Have your say!

All monies raised from the Gala will be used to help local youth groups within the village. To help us identify groups that could benefit, here is your chance to recommend a local youth group and tell us why a donation would help them?
