Excellent podcast-of-passion from our Secretary, Amanda, she’s worked so hard on this! What a wonderful way to celebrate SheBoom by hearing what it means to the drummers themselves 🥁 https://t.co/puFQMAe77o
The latest @OurStoryScot oral history recordings of SheBoom participants and of queer music, along with their compilations for radio/podcast, will be archived @natlibscot in the OurStory Scotland Collection @nlsarchives
On the @OurStoryScot podcast there is a brilliant new episode compiled from oral history recordings by Amanda with members of SheBoom, the Glasgow-based women’s drumming band and collective.

Jimmy Donnelly has given @ourstoryscot a wonderful oral history interview for archive @nlsarchives At a time when his sexuality was regarded as crime, illness & sin, he found support through Glasgow venues, @questlgbti and 50 precious years with James Morrow the love of his life.
More than 20 years ago, when @OurStoryScot set out to record our stories, we received invaluable advice and support from Rob Perks of @OralHistorySoc as recalled in this memory for their 50th anniversary.
