A BIT ABOUT ME

Mark Smallman

I play the gong and other instruments. I work as UK Country Manager for GONG and also put on wellness events as The Zen Den with my sister.

I've always been interested in the ability of music and sound to calm the mind. When I had my first gong bath, I was blown away by the ability of the instrument to induce effortless meditation. Inspired by a quote from the late DJ Andrew Weatherall who said ‘you’re never going to have that feeling of hearing a record for the first time again, but if you look into the eyes of someone who’s hearing it for the first time... it’s the next best feeling’, I'm keen to share the positive energy of the gong with people who have not already encountered it.
