JAMIE MORGAN
Event Facilitator & Creative Director
I facilitate joyful, interactive and energising drumming workshops across Sussex for team building, events and community groups.
My work focuses on creating the conditions where people can participate fully in and experience the benefits of playing together in rhythm.
From my first experiences of drumming over 30 years ago, I saw how quickly it could bring joy, energy and connection to groups. I wanted to understand how it worked, and how to share it.
Over time, this became both a personal and professional path — learning, refining and sharing this work with different groups in different settings, while developing myself as a musician, performer and lifelong student of group dynamics. Training in clowning & physical theatre adds depth to how I work as a facilitator.
After many years and thousands of events all across the UK and internationally, this work now lives through The Sussex Drum.
The Sussex Drum is dedicated to creating and supporting communities of all kinds through rhythm-based events, making accessible and commonplace the experience of joyful, shared music-making through our events and workshops.

It all started when…
Jamie met Virginia twelve years ago. Their shared love of percussion & their passion for shared community inspired them to reimagine his original business, shaping it into what is now: The Sussex Drum.
Since then, The Sussex Drum has grown into a vibrant hub for rhythm & connection — hosting thriving community drum circles along the Sussex coastline, and delivering dynamic corporate rhythm events, parties, & celebrations both within and beyond county borders; from Senegal to Spain, Scotland to South Wales.
We also collaborate with a wider network of trusted & talented musicians, delivering high-quality rhythm experiences for any occasion.
