MUSICIANS young and old visited East Oxford Community Centre to bash out some African rhythms at a beginners’ drumming class.

Monday’s session was hosted at the Princes Street centre by instructor Kim Gajraj.

Among the visitors were Michael and Toni Pickard, visiting from Canada, and their granddaughter Zoe, six, from Summertown.

Ms Gajraj, 23, from East Hendred, near Wantage, said: “The beginners’ drumming sessions are every Monday night at 6.30pm “The sessions last for 90 minutes and are very popular. We often get about 15 people.

“I went to Senegal in February to learn Djembe, West African drumming, and brought the rhythms back to East Oxford.”
