To the Beat of the Drum Podcast – #FitToMarch

A series of 5 podcasts were released throughout Good Relations Week looking at the work of the Bands Forum over the past 10 years and its work during lockdown.

This episode looks back at our successful #fittomarch initative presented by Andrew Lynch, Londonderry Bands Forum Educational Outreach Officer and Stephen Porter, Londonderry bands Forum Co-Ordinator. We discuss with a number of participants in our fit to march programme, which ran throughout lockdown and encouraged band members to get out walking and count their steps. The programme had over four hundred participants from over thirty bands across Northern Ireland and Scotland.
In this podcast the participants spoke about the benefits the programme had in both their physical and mental health. They also discussed a number of different aspects of what it is like to be in a band.
