(This is my first time using the Forum so I apologise if this is in the wrong section. I'm not intending to spam)


South London Samba is a new drumming ensemble based in Peckham/Nunhead. We are a group of young people (around 10 of us) aged between 15-21 who love to drum. I (Adam Ouissellat, in photo above) decided to start the band at the end of 2012 and saved up to buy all the equipment. Our drums are Brazilian surdos/bass drums and snares. I arrange tunes to be high energy and exciting, and although we use samba drums we aren't confined to any style.


We would love to perform anywhere! Any schools, fairs etc. are exactly what we are looking for. I am aiming to build support in the local area and hopefully expand. I appreciate any help/ideas/suggestions. We started at Ivydale School (rehearsing and then performing in an assembly) in December but have not been able to continue. We are in dire need of a rehearsal space with storage so if anyone is able to help, please contact me. The band is invite only as I want to maintain a high level of performance but if any schools or groups want a teacher I am more than happy to. Non-members won't be able to use my equipment though as it is very expensive.

    • Thanks for these comments. Very helpful. The porch and hallway shows on their lease plan but we share the freehold together. 
    • Ok.  You have bigger problems than this s20 notice.  How have you let one freeholder dominate things.  You both have the equal right to decide how to manage the communal areas of the property.  I would get some legal advice on your duties and rights as a freeholder and then request a meeting  to reset the relationship. Also as noted in other posts is the front yard and door actually the responsibility of the freeholder.  These are all questions you should ask in your S20 response.
    • seems perfectly sensible to restrict cert 18 but would have thought cert 15 are acceptable. we don't know what the complaint was or if the measures taken by the cinema address it or go too far. if there was a scenario when an infant was in a regular screening, then I would completely understand the complaint. if the complaint was from someone who attended a parent screening, then - well, I guess it depends what was on! if the complaint was from someone who has not involvement or experience then the cinema surely wouldn't have taken measures based  on it  
    • Unbelievable. My laptop ran fine for a while and now it's got the blue screen of death on startup. I've just been running through all the options with Which Tech, and nothing they have tried (rollback etc etc) has sorted it. So I've got to crawl back to John Lewis and I guess it will be back to the factory reset 😭 BUT Also unbelievable. Since the BSOD I have been using my old Dell laptop, which nobody could fix either. It runs Windows 10, and had been running at watching paint dry speed, as indeed it was when I started using it again recently due to the problems with the new one. It's quite old, and it  wasn't worth paying to get anything hardware related sorted given the move to Windows 11, which was why I bought a new one. BUT!!! There was a Windows 10 update recently. And since then the Dell has been running at lightning speed 😮 It probably won't now I've posted this 🤣
