(This is my first time using the Forum so I apologise if this is in the wrong section. I'm not intending to spam)


South London Samba is a new drumming ensemble based in Peckham/Nunhead. We are a group of young people (around 10 of us) aged between 15-21 who love to drum. I (Adam Ouissellat, in photo above) decided to start the band at the end of 2012 and saved up to buy all the equipment. Our drums are Brazilian surdos/bass drums and snares. I arrange tunes to be high energy and exciting, and although we use samba drums we aren't confined to any style.


We would love to perform anywhere! Any schools, fairs etc. are exactly what we are looking for. I am aiming to build support in the local area and hopefully expand. I appreciate any help/ideas/suggestions. We started at Ivydale School (rehearsing and then performing in an assembly) in December but have not been able to continue. We are in dire need of a rehearsal space with storage so if anyone is able to help, please contact me. The band is invite only as I want to maintain a high level of performance but if any schools or groups want a teacher I am more than happy to. Non-members won't be able to use my equipment though as it is very expensive.

    • Maurice fixed a blocked pipe in our bathroom, was communicative and reliable during the enquiry process, personable and professional during the fix and reasonable in his pricing. Would recommend.
    • Dishing the dirt is generally fine when it comes to politicians and in Farage's case he often deserves it but  nothing illegal  has been done. It is not illegal for him to give his partner a sizeable amount of money with which to buy a house and have it registered in her name. He is 64 years old and his partner is 16 years younger and so he most likely is making plans to minimise IHT. There is a sliding scale for IHT but basically a gift is free of IHT if the gift is made 7 years before the donor dies. Farage is 64 years old and his partner is 16 years younger. In 7 years time, if he lives that long, he will be 71 years old. Given that he smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish, his odds on getting beyond 71  years may be pretty slim.  A similar  process is followed by the "bank of mum and dad"  where parents  give money to their kids to fund purchase of a property. Many who are not cash rich will mortgage their home and so release equity to fund their kids property. We did it as have many of our friends.
