Arts Spotlight - Stories from the Pandemic: Drum Production Studios
Rory Hurley and Eddie Gomez started their company, Drum Production Studios in Peterborough, to be able to use their creative skills in dance, music and translate them to video to help people deliver their message to audiences. When the pandemic led to clients cancelling live events, effectively emptying their calendar, the partners changed tack and began livestreaming. This helped them continue to keep audiences engaged and inspired during very difficult times. We’re proud to share Rory and Eddie’s story, in their own words.

Creatives are finding strength in community and dreaming and building towards the future. In this account, we hear from Dan Scully.
