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!

Paul Barrett, musical director, the Samba-Blisstas
