Focusing on traditional West African drumming, using Djembe & Dundun with African songs and dances, Hartbeats provides workshops, courses & performance for a wide range of organisations including schools, businesses and community groups. Justine Hart has co-organised numerous events and festivals such Winterdrum and The Mamady Keita Weekend 2008.

Drums Aloud is an arts organisation whose aim is to bring West African drumming (djembe, dundun & sabar), singing & dancing as well as a deep understanding of the associated cultural traditions of West Africa to Birmingham, the Black Country and surrounding areas.

African Linx organises music events, bringing together the best U.K. and African artists, with the aim of encouraging cross cultural collaborations, including supporting the Kartong Festival in The Gambia. We have many exciting events coming up, including a free event in Nottingham and various Festivals in 2009.

Mendip All Drummers is a community led project, which uses drum, dance and song to engage marginalized and hard-to-reach people. The free workshops break down barriers and enable people to gain confidence and experience the power of group work. Participants often progress to further formal learning through MAD's links with Somerset Adult Education Service.
