Hi Graham. Nansady is still in Guinea as far as I know.
Hi. Can you help please? I am looking for someone in the Newcastle area who can repair djembes. Mine is split! Thanks in anticipation. Tim
Hi Tim. If you come along to drummed up (see http://www.drummedup.org for directions) on Thursday evenings I can meet you and have alook at your drum. To give you an idea of cost, a goatskin is £20 and the labour is £50 (around 8-10 hours work over 5 days) if there is no damage to the ropes or rings. As I say, bring it along and I will have a look.
