Morecambe woman, 90, says learning to drum brought her joy

A 90-year-old woman who took up drumming late in life has said learning to play has brought her "joy".

Barbara McInnis, from Morecambe, started drumming lessons two years ago, but admitted she had been "tapping away" since she was a child.

"I used to irritate my mother as I was always tapping things," she said.

Her tutor, former Simply Red drummer Chris Joyce, said she was "a natural".
