We are delighted to have recently received confirmation of sponsorship from the Milford Haven Port Authority through its Community Investment Fund. This valuable input is geared towards supporting a range of initiatives to help the band to become sustainable.
Sambadoc spent an exhausting weekend at the Stackpole Centre with Raz from One Voice Music having intensive training sessions and learning two new pieces. One being dedicated to Louise Smithson, a band member who worked at the centre and tragically died in a climbing accident last year.
Saturday shoppers in Haverfordwest were surprised and delighted when Castle Square reverberated to Samba Doc drawing attention to the third Haverfordwest Green Fayre. The sound of samba bouncing off the high buildings was quite something and the feedback from an enthusiastic crowd set the scene for a very successful day ...
So the performance season is well under way with three gigs already done. We kicked off with a charity gig for the ‘ 3 Amigos’ Easter run in Haverfordwest, and then had our first International Tour with a date in Symonds Yat, a wet but enjoyable trip; and yesterday we led the procession for the Urdd Proclamation ceremony in Haverfordwest.
