We did a survey to see what the members of our band felt about our project and the answers were amazing!
Thanks to @gemma_stilwell for putting it all together and to everyone in Samba Pirates, Sambanans and @50_50streetband for taking the time to complete.
More gig announcements coming soon! by @piratesamba

Brilliant last gig of the season at Parkgate raising funds for MND. Thanks to Rob for the pipes, @kiranfulton for the ace video and our own @pollyanna.2011 for helping organise.
From Aug 25 to Aug 26, Neston Pirate Samba delivered 41 free regular sessions for teenagers, many of whom have additional needs, 34 sessions for the elderly on a pay what you can basis and 25 subsidised sessions for primary school children.
We did 15 free performances at local events, a trip to London to play at the Southbank Centre with 12 young people and a major festival in Norway with 6 teenagers- all at zero cost to parents.
Our income for this period was just a little over 10k, making us one of the best value for money community music groups in the UK, but we couldn't do it without the continued support from parents, schools and our fantastic local groups including @nestontowncouncil
@aceagrams and @youthmusicuk: great things can happen in small places! Weve got some big projects planned for 2027 and we will be asking for your help. Stay tuned! by @piratesamba

And the beat goes on!
Our Neston Sambananas will be leading the parade to the @redlionparkgate this Sunday at 2pm accompanied by Scotland the Brave on bagpipes.
All money to raise and funds and awareness of motor nueron disease. by @piratesamba

Lovely gig in Ellesmere Port with our @piratesamba crew,who are sounding so good. More than just the drums though, it's the sense of community and support for each other that we are building here in Neston.
