A Generous Act of Giving
During the prestigious Guildhall Dinner 2024, former Royal Marine Mark Talbot was determined to secure a truly unique piece of music history the one-of-a-kind drum kit used by Iron Maiden’s Nicko McBrain at the Mountbatten Festival of Music. This extraordinary, handcrafted set was specially designed to commemorate the 360th anniversary of His Majesty’s Royal Marines by the British Drum Company. Each drum in this remarkable kit features Iron Maiden’s iconic Eddie mascot, depicted in various Royal Marines uniforms from 1664 to the present day, with the stunning Spean Bridge Memorial as a backdrop. It stands as a powerful tribute to history, music and service.
