The Rhythm Connection

Welcome to The Rhythm Connection

The Rhythm Connection has been an integral part of the rhythmic and cultural landscape of North Queensland since 2000 making regular appearances in numerous festivals, schools, corporate events and private celebrations.

It is the driving force of what has become one of the most anticipated events in the North Queensland calendar - the Full Moon Drum Circle - held on the Saturday night closest to the night of the Full Moon since 2001 at the Strand , Townsville. The Full Moon Drum Circle is supported by event partner, the Townsville City Council since 2005.

Welcome to the site. Please contact me if you'd like to know how I can bring the joy of drumming to your workplace, school, kindergarten, festivals and any other private events. See you soon!
