Scottish Samba Showcase V - Rhythms of the City, SambaYaBamba + Support

Hi Folks,

It's coming up for West End Festival Time again and time to stick the samba showcase in your diaries. We're so lucky to get to bring bands of this quality and size to Glasgow at this time of year and this year is no exception. Our special guests are london based 20-piece Rhythms of the City. Some of you will know them from their work with Friendly Fires. They are without doubt one of the most pin-sharp baterias in europe and an incredibly diverse reportoire spanning all 12 continents! Glasgow's very own SambaYaBamba will be showing their 2010 set for the first time, before heading off to play it in Paris the next week. And this year we will be treated to the raucus rhythms of Paisley's star bateria, Kings of Macumba. As you know it's a must do gig, there's only one a year, you can't go next month! No advance tickets this time, just pay at the door AND it's cheaper before 10.00 so get yer skates oan! Please support this event by forwarding and facebooking etc. Thank you!
