Celebration Samba

25/11/2023

Tonight, we had a great evening at East Preston Christmas Celebration, such an enjoyable annual event for us. Playing a static set and then a procession to the village green and then playing again just before the fireworks for the Christmas light up. Such a lovely feel and great to have crowd participation!

If you would like to come and have a go, you won't be disappointed. Drumming in the band is such fun and you will make new friends too. Contact us at [email protected]

So last night was our final performance of this year's bonfire season, hosted by Barcombe Bonfire Society. Another fantastic evening of playing and processing, finishing off with another excellent fireworks display. We also had the chance to jam with 2 other bands, which was awesome.

Last night we played in the procession at Chailey Bonfire Societies celebrations. Sadly no shots of us playing, but here we are getting together at the start and then a couple of shots of the 11th November remembrance service held half way through.

We played a set outside the Five Bells pub, which was well received and then lead the procession into the fireworks field, for an excellent fireworks display.
