(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.

    • Local council member for Lambeth leisure dept might be interested
    • Yep I would definitely advise booking Janda. It was rammed and we even had to wait a bit for our reservation. 
    • This reminds me of "the grasshopper" at Westerham when a tabloid paper did an exposé about their swinger parties (many many years ago)  The result was that every man and his dog went there to see if they could get in to a party. Pub did amazing business but think the club may have closed as a result.  Bet the Telegraph article will be great publicity for belair sex parties and every pervert under the sun will invade Dulwich village and the square (of shame) 
    • I find Fusion are Horrendous. When they ran Forest Hill pools it was always (although a new facility at the time) really grubby. Overflowing filthy toilets, dirty changing rooms, slippery floors and filthy swimming pool with cloudy water and Lifeguards who did'nt give a damn about teens  jumping in the pool and making trouble pushing and splashing adult and elderly swimmers. It was grim and I cancelled my membership and joined Dulwich leisure Centre because I got tired of complaining about changing rooms that smelt of p**s and used sanitary products left on the floor...and nothing changing..new managers would come promise improvement and making zero difference. In the End they lost the contact and FHP is run by Better and it really is....Better! I'm now happy to go there its well staffed, clean and well run. Unfortunately unless Fusion loose the contract for the Lido I fear things won't improve.
