Bass Drum Nation CIC is a samba drumming collective. We operate a main band for players, run short samba drumming courses for community members, run workshops for schools and perform gigs at a variety of community events. During the financial year 2023-2024 Bass Drum Nation has benefited the community in the following ways: - Providing a high quality, weekly, creative arts experience for 100+ band members from the local community. . - Established a new band in Ulverston and maintained our bands in Penrith and Kendal, supporting even more people. - Provided samba drumming tuition to members of the community through our programme of short courses. - Combatted loneliness and inactivity by facilitating an activity that promotes social inclusion and physical wellbeing for band members by offering drumming sessions and practices and gigs. - Performed for free at fundraising events e.g Kendal Colour Dash which raised in excess of £24k for Cancer Care, The Great North Run and Kendal Mountain Festival in order to support fundraising activities. We’ve played Kendal Bike Festival, an organisation which actively promotes sustainable transport opportunities in the town. - We’ve also played a free gig for the Cross Bay Challenge and all proceeds from the activity went towards Cancer Care. - Provided the community with a samba drumming group that can be identified as belonging to the town which is led by the people and run for the people. - Provide stakeholders with the opportunity to go on a Retreat and develop their creative practice through running and attending workshops. - Developed international links by facilitating a workshop with Maestre Pato, a Brazilian Maestre living in Canada, for players to attend. We ran a trip to Spain for our members, providing the opportunity to perform at an international samba festival, ‘Conclave de Samba.’
Bass Drum Nation’s stakeholders are made up of band members, students on our short courses, owners of the venues that we hire and any external agents who book us, including schools and colleges. We consult with the band members on matters of running and managing the band, the music and the events we have, regularly at practice and on our closed social media group for members only. The band uses these consultations to inform decisions made by the band as a whole e.g. Do we need to recruit more players? Is practice too long/short? How can we help you to learn the tunes? What type of gigs and events would we like to play? Where shall we hold this year’s retreat? The company consults with owners of the venues that we hire on access and health and safety. The company consults with external agents through the gig booking process. Any actions are carried forward.
