Joined by a Drum Showcase 2025 – a tribute to Steve Dawson, held at the New Vic Theatre on March 13th 2025

The performance involved all the groups who had taken part including St Lukes Silverdale, Maybank infants, St Peters academy, U3A drummers of Stoke On Trent and Betley primary.
Special performances included Joe Wilson, Mr.Will Guitar, Kibisi Douglas, Andy Edwards plus the Jaguza troupe of Uganda with everyone coming together to celebrate the life of Steve Dawson “mr.D” who sadly passed away in late 2024.

Steve was a co-founder of Madula, and an active practitoner right up until his passing. His influence and shaping of the organisation was crucial in making a difference to so many lives. The Steve Dawson memorial fund has been set up in his memory. This fund will continue our mission to support Mama Music School & Orphanage in Uganda, alongside providing bursaries to support disadvantaged young people to progress in their musical development.

Madula has been inspiring children, young people & communities through creativity & performance since 1998.
