With only 4 weeks to go before our Christmas Concert, now feels like the perfect time to share our poster and all the information that you need.

We hope to see as many of you there as possible on the 11th.

With just over a month to go till our Christmas Concert, we have been busy practicing and choreographing.

You can expect some surprises, old favourites, new soon to be favourites, fun, Christmas cheer! (and also a poster very soon that will give you all the details.)

We will also be holding a raffle again this year. We were blown away by the generosity of the donated prizes last year and raised over £250. In the past year we have used money such as this to go on Theatre trips, hiring live bands for social days, and loads of other fun things.

So if anyone has anything that they are willing to donate to this year's raffle then we would very much appreciate it.

Either way, we hope to see as many of you there as possible next month.

What a fantastic turn out!

We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we have. Together we raised over £600 for the Berwick and District Breast Cancer Support Group. Once again, a massive thanks to everyone who came along or donated raffle prizes.

And if you enjoyed our drumming and also love a raffle, then we hope to see as many of you back as possible for our Christmas Concert in December. More details to follow.

We hope to see you there and there are some great raffle prizes so remember to bring your cash. Good luck!

On the 20th of November, there is going to be an information day at the Berwick Sports and Leisure Centre.

If you look after someone, then this is a great opportunity to learn more about your rights and the resources that are available in this area to help.

Whether it be to just have a discussion with people in similar positions or you have questions that you need answers to, then come along and have a chat to the experts.

A few of us decided to take a trip down to Pottergate and have some time in the sensory room today.

Yoga in the morning at Northstar and then some quiet, relaxing time at Pottergate in the afternoon, you can't ask for more than that! 🧘‍♂️💆‍♀️

Only one week to go until our next performance!

Doors will open at 1pm to give you all time to buy your raffle tickets and get set up with a slab of cake before the performance at 1:30pm. We can't wait to see you all there.

Here is a date for all your diaries!

On the 23rd of October, we will be playing host to a Charity Fundraiser in aid of the newly formed, Berwick and District Breast Cancer Support Group.

Unfortunately, we all know someone that has been affected by Cancer in some way including our very own Elaine from the NorthStar Family.

We are delighted to be performing for such a worthwhile cause and have been busy devising a special 'Pink' themed playlist for the occasion. We hope to see as many of you there as possible on the 23rd at 1:30PM. The event will be cash only so best get raiding your piggy banks! 💵💰

After our amazing performance at Eyemouth High last week, we decided to take a bit of a break from the drums 🥁.

Instead, we had a high stakes game of Granny Pants and a few rounds of Human Hoopla.

Everyone really enjoyed themselves and it was somehow as noisy as all the drumming! For the most part it was a good clean competition but there was some *potential* cheating here and there. Big thank you to Tweed Connections Friends & Family for letting us borrow their pants!

Will be back to the drums next week 🤞 as we will have to get ready for our next performance and, I know it is only October, the Christmas Concert 🎄🎅.

Since it is the last day of the month, we thought we would share some videos of our recent 'Sustainable September' drumming performance. 🥁

We all really enjoyed being asked to come and entertain everyone at Eyemouth High Schools recent event last week.

It was a nice challenge for us to try and play some everyday objects instead of our normal instruments. I suppose everything is a drum if you hit it hard enough!

Today is finally the big day!

Best of luck to everyone who is participating but particularly our very own Lindsey Thompson who is taking on the Great North Run today. We are all incredibly proud of the hard work she has put in over these last few weeks and months and know she is going to absolutely smash it.

Lindsey is running for Berwick's Cancer Cars - The B&DCSG and all of your support in whatever form has been a massive boost to her and the rest of the team throughout. We can't wait to see the medal!

And last but certainly not least, good luck to our very own Daniel Flannigan who has very selflessly decided to go and support and stand in the queues to have the post race refreshments ready.

When you can't go to the festival then the Festival shall come to you! 🎶

We had our latest social day today and were lucky enough to be joined by some special guests.

Our very own Jock brought along the rest of his band Sunbelly to play some tunes for us. You don't need to have that awkward moment while you wait for the first people to go up on the dance-floor thats for sure. We were all immediately on our feet.

And it was a good thing we were dancing so much as we wouldn't be hungry enough for our treat takeaway lunch 🐟🍟.

If that wasn't enough, we were then joined by Heyzeus for an afternoon of more tunes and dancing.

A massive thanks to everyone who make days like this possible: whether that be the fantastic entertainment we have had today or those that donate to make days like this possible.

We will be back to drumming next week as we gear up for our next performance.
