With the help of an array of percussion instruments, projections and audience participation, Brian relates stories from his formation as a drummer in Dun Laoghaire (Dublin, Ireland)) to studying in Guinea, Senegal and India. While running away from his father’s profession, he comes to realise that teachers come in many forms. Raymond Keane directs
