Bonnie & Andrea (Middlesex County Volunteers)

<p>Bonnie and Andrea have been members of MCV for over 30 years and have had some amazing experiences as part of the band. From playing at fireman's parades to Military Tattoo's all over the world, fifing and drumming has had an amazing impact on their lives.</p><p>We caught up with Bonnie and Andrea a few weeks back to learn more about how they got involved in fife and drumming and how that path led them to becoming members of MCV.</p><p>I want to thank them both for taking the time to speak with me and share their stories.</p><p>It's amazing that the experiences they talk about are so similar to the experiences of band members here in Northern Ireland.</p><p>If you have never heard MCV then please check them out, we have one of my favourite tunes of theirs playing at the end of the episode.</p><p>Please consider supporting the work of the podcast by visiting patreon.com/madetoparade - a big thank you to our monthly contributors - without you we couldn't keep putting the podcast out there.</p><p>As always a big thank you to our season sponsors, British Drum Co.</p><p>Catch you al again next week.</p><p>Glenn</p>
