Spare Tyre Band

2011

Resulting from a series of workshops held at Redbridge Drama Centre in 2011, the Spare Tyre Band was a group of learning disabled musicians who wrote their own music and created their instruments out of recycled materials. They performed at several festivals and events across London, the most prominent being the Lord Mayors Show in 2013.
