Musicians, authors and more in the return of Drumming and Strumming for Shanklin Theatre

Stars of the stage, screen and literary world are lined up to take part in the return of Drumming and Strumming for Shanklin Theatre, an online fundraising concert taking place in April.

The second edition of the virtual concert, organised by local musicians Jake Curran and Tilly Grimshaw, will premiere in April.

Money raised for Shanklin Theatre
In 2021, Drumming and Strumming featured appearances from hit making 1980s band Doctor and the Medics and the late great John Challis, of Only Fools and Horses fame.

The event drew hundreds of views and raised over £350 for Shanklin Theatre.

Date and lineup to follow
Who will be appearing this year? The virtual lineup will be announced in the upcoming weeks and you can expect both Island musicians and famous faces to be on the bill.

Organisers Jake Curran and Tilly Grimshaw said,

“We are really looking forward to Drumming and Strumming this year.

“We can’t wait to join you in April for the YouTube premiere of our online concert.

“The countdown’s on until we announce our star studded lineup.”
