We lost one of the world best drummers this morning April 28th, 2009
Joe Kilna MacKenzie who formed the band Clann An Drumma died in his sleep after a long illness, with his loving family by his side. He was a great family man, friend and Ambassador for Scotland. He touched so many lives through his music and he will continue to live on in our hearts through his music. My condolences going out to the family and friends at this difficult time.
He will be missed so very much. Please feel free to leave your condolences on the Clann An Drumma forum as well.
There's new footage up of Clann An Drumma playing this weekend at Inveraray Castle. Stop by the website community and have a look. The music lives on. I am looking forward to the new cd coming out soon.
There has been a lot of changes on the Clann An Drumma website. It is getting a new look as we speak. I will let you know when it's finished. Hope to see you there. It will be done soon.....The community is still working at www.http://clannandrumma.proboards.com/index.cgi?
I just wanted to let you know the Clann An Drumma website has changed servers and it is now showing the new website. It will be updated as time allows.
The band is getting ready for a long gig they will be playing in Ireland. They've added a new member to the band.
I hope you will come by the site and the community forum and let us know what you think. You've gotta see the changes! Feel free to sign the guest book as well. If your a member of the community you should be getting a email shortly.
Thanks Rindy. I do hope to get in there as soon as I can. Anxious to see what CAD will be working on and their tour schedule. Many thanks for all the hard work you do in this site and CAD's.
Thanks for all the kind words Rosemary. You know all about the work with the Tinkers and CAD. and here for some time. We"re plugging along. I thought this would be kind of fun for everyone. I like looking up songs etc. on youtube and thought we could all share the ones we like. What ones do you like off youtube. It's great to think this song is sang all around the world now and for a hell of a cause.Thanks so much for the kind words.
Heres I had a idea to all share what youtubes we like using Clann An Drummas song Sgt. Mackenzie. This music is played world wide. This one really hit home
SERGEANT MACKENZIE Here is the first one I'd like to share.
Want to win a Clann An Drumma cd and more, it's simple and going to be a blast.
The CAD forum's having a contest. You sign into the forum and it's under the Welcome Guest topic. All you do is create a caption for the picture and the funniest wins a Clann An Drumma goodie bag.

A quick reminder that the contest is drawing to a close.
All you have to do is come on to the forum and there's a topic called COMPETITION!!! Just have a look at the photo that's up and give it a funny name and if chosen by the band as they will be the judges, you will win a Clann An Drumma bag full of goodies, including a signed cd.
The contest ends on August 31 and the winner will be announced by September 5th.
If you've already posted and think of another one, come on back and post again. It's going to be hard for the band to pick as there's some great posts.
