Hopefully a little samba energy will help the walkers along as they pace it out for this important cause.
We are looking forward to supporting the twilight walk superheroes next Saturday, and helping them to raise an epic amount of money for @LOROSHospice! 🥁🥁🥁

Our first proper gig of the year, and also the first performance of a major new piece that we've been working on since February. Hoping we can bring some samba sunshine to proceedings - and to the #Leicester street art! 🥁😎🎨
We are looking forward to bringing some samba rhythms to the City Centre on Sunday afternoon, as part of Open Streets and Bring the Paint! We'll be starting at 1pm, at Town Hall Square, just follow the beat to find us! 🥁🥁🥁

I came so close to buying a beautiful @Withings hybrid smartwatch. I'd chosen my model and even the strap colour. And then I read the reviews for the latest iOS app. "keeps crashing" "loses my data" "lost my family" bombards me with marketing" "terrible ux".... Damn.

Excited for our try-out session on Sunday. A rare chance for people to come along and play a samba piece for the first time. 🥁
We have spaces for 1 or 2 people to play Surdo drums right now (the big drums in the video below). No prior experience necessary. We have a tryout session 6-7pm, next Sunday 18th February. To apply, click here: forms.office.com/r/CCJNjAwbB…

Such energy & spirit - so hard to believe that Tess no longer is among us. As we celebrate our 25 yrs as a band, we know that we are her children. Tess we're so proud to be part of your legacy. Your love and support will continue to sustain us. Thank you for everything. 💜🧡
Today our founder, @tessHmassey, gained her angel wings. She was endlessly proud of everything that we did and we will miss her hugely. We send our love to Ant and Jazzi at this difficult time. Fly high, lovely Tess, and teach those angels some samba rhythms 💜🧡
