Different Drums of Ireland Takes to DCA Mainstage

Different Drums of Ireland was created in 1992 as a community relations project in Derry, Northern Ireland. Now, the five member band makes its Door County premier appearance on the Door Community Auditorium (DCA) Mainstage, Friday, March 5 at 8 pm. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students under 18.

Featuring the Lambeg and Bodhran drums, as well as the guitar, snares, long drum, pipes, and vocals, Different Drums of Ireland celebrates the musical traditions, customs, and sounds of that wee part of the world, crossing boundaries in an effort to promote peace and unity. Hailed as a unique celebration of cultural diversity and linkages, the group adds a myriad of percussion and other instruments to original and traditional songs.

Different Drums of Ireland has played across the world, for everyone from US & Irish presidents to school children. The message is the same: celebrate that which makes us different and that which bonds us together.
