Wall of Sound Samba Band
Wall of Sound formed following a shopping trip the Headteacher of Parkside School (Stuart Bailey) made, where he saw saw some samba drumming being performed. He came into school saying, “I’ve heard this fantastic drumming, I think it’s Brazilian. I think we should start doing it!”
Within a few weeks a whole set of drums had been bought and George Fothergill had been hired for the job of teaching the pupils at Parkside about Samba.
It didn’t take long for them to catch the samba “bug”. The band performed recently at the Celebration of Schools Music event held at Snape Maltings, where they blew the audience away with three numbers that they wrote themselves.
