Drummers, Stilt Walkers, and Fire Eaters - oh my!
Flame Thrower
Drummers outside the Thistle Hotel (Atlantic Tower) Liverpool
Another day in Liverpool, another random event! I heard the sound of drums rumbling through my flat and went onto the balcony and heard complete madness! I ran out to see what was happening (grabbing my camera on the way) and was greeted with a troop of drummers, stilt walkers, a fire eater and some people doing footie skills (I’m not sure how they fit into all this!).
It’s all happening outside the Thistle hotel, their website is pretty rubbish and doesn’t tell you why or what is happening (there were balloons with the number 35, so I’m guessing it’s their 35th birthday - or someones anyway!)
After a bit of digging I found out that the drummers are called “Batala” and they are a Samba band based in Liverpool and I want to join!
