Many, including Seamus Heaney have written of the thunderous drum. The Rhymers perform Biddy McDowell, a traditional Lambeg Rhythm song that directs the playing of the beat.
The Armagh Rhymers work with Orange heritage in Carleton Street Orange hall, Portadown on the Mumming & Drumming Project which brings together mumming tradition with Orange heritage. This shared education project brings together schools from all communities to celebrate the myths and legends that unite us.
