World's Greatest Drummer 2008

Sat 15 Nov 8:00pm at Town Hall

On the 29th September 2007, Palmerlive held the sell-out concert ‘The World’s Greatest Drummer’ to celebrate the music and the man who most agree was the world’s greatest drummer, Buddy Rich. Seven of the UK’s leading drummers performed together for the first time the music made famous by Buddy Rich with a live Big Band.

‘‘A top quality band playing ‘full-on’ accompanying each drummer, and so many legendary figures on one stage, made my night. The finale was astounding.” Kevin Thomas, audience member.

The 2008 show is set to be another sell out and early booking is advised. Now with ‘The World’s Greatest Drummer Big Band’, where only the best UK session musicians have been selected, you will experience a show that’s full of passion with drumming at it’s very best.

Line up for 2008 is…

Gary Husband (John McLaughlin, Level 42)
Steve White (Paul Weller)
Jon Brookes (The Charlatans)
Ian Palmer (Independent)
Pete Cater (Pete Cater Big Band)
Karl Brazil (James Blunt)
