The images capture the aspirational subculture surrounding all-female teams, affectionately known as 'Drummies'. This collection sheds light on the complex relationship between nostalgia and contemporary culture, highlighting the sport's enduring appeal in marginalised communities. The photographs reveal the dedication and hard work required to be part of this competitive sport, where being a drummie is not only a privilege but also an achievement. The demanding practice schedules are a testament to the girls' commitment, showcasing their ability to work together towards a common goal. Through her lens, Alice Mann offers a nuanced portrayal of a fascinating world that challenges perceptions and celebrates the achievements of young women involved in this unique sport.
