The pulsating drum logo was created by artist and member of Skin to Skin, Helen Jackson. See more of her work on her website. 
The photographs used here were mainly taken by Peter Batty and Vanessa Steadman. Some were taken by unknown others - thanks to you all, and I hope you don't mind me using them!

Peter is the founder of "Skin to Skin". He runs the workshops and leads the group. He learnt to play djembe in the early 1980s as a student of Adama Drame in Cote d'Ivoire and |
 |
|
was one of the first Westerners to train in taiko drumming with "KODO" in Japan. Since founding "Skin to Skin" in 1995 he has continued to train with many other African teachers in the UK, Europe, Ghana and The Gambia, and returns to West Africa as often as possible, to re-immerse himself in the source of this marvellous music. |
