We’ve sourced the best team of practitioners to offer a deep and immersive holistic experience for our festival participants.

After having some profound and enlightening experiences with these practices ourselves, we’re keen to bring them into this space and offer sessions in a digestible and manageable way, to an open audience that may be new to these types of activities.

Jump into the magic of a new experience!

Aaron – Workshop & Closing ceremony

Aaron is an experienced percussion tutor who instructs and performs with djembe (West African hand drum), djun djun drums, bodhran, cajon, congas, bougarabou and darabuka. Aaron plays and performs on drum-kit and other world percussion.

Aaron’s first experience of drumming came in the form of West-African traditional rhythms via Mamady Keita in Japan where he studied for over 3 years. Aaron bases many of his workshops around these traditional West-African rhythms as he has a special affinity with the djembe.

Aaron works with many youth groups throughout the UK and has organised teams of youngsters to perform in front of large audiences.

Aaron is busy during the summer months on Carnival and festival work and leads groups that he has tutored through processions and parades. Aaron is a regular at Glastonbury festival since 2010 performing on small stages and facilitating daily drumming workshops for the festival crowd. Mannifest, Sunrise festival, and Camp Bestival are just a few of the events that Aaron has taken Slappingskins to and Aaron is a regular at Greenman festival since 2003 facilitating the Kids Field Drumming.

Aaron works with Special Needs, O.T. groups, schools, team building seminars and much more. Aaron tutors regularly throughout the week at various venues for beginners and intermediate alike.

Aaron also tutors from home teaching drum kit and offers sound healing treatments. Aaron plays gongs and is a qualified sound healer, trained by Simon Heather at the college of sound Healing using his voice and other textural instruments to create a relaxing and healing environment for the client.
