If the Casino Beef Week committee decide to ban community discussion through peaceful protests in their annual parade – whether it’s CSG, Toot, hospital unions, or the right to cook up a turkey on your balcony – as the founder and director of the Samba-Blisstas, I advise we will not be available in the future to support this event!

We have enjoyed entertaining the Casino community over the years and really hope the Beef Week committee look at this issue carefully!

Paul Barrett, musical director, the Samba-Blisstas

Support The Echo

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.

Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
