Drummers invite Helen Mirren to open gay festival – and shout at them again

The organisers of a gay music festival whose noisy drummers received a royal ticking off from Dame Helen Mirren for disrupting her performance as the Queen have invited her back to shout at them again.

Dame Helen Mirren offered an olive branch to a troupe of noisy drummers who disrupted her performance as the Queen – by taking it upon herself to promote their music festival for them.

Dame Helen stormed out of the Gielgud theatre in London on Saturday dressed as the Queen to remonstrate with a troupe of samba-style musicians who had stopped outside the stage door while she was performing in The Audience, a play about the Queen.
