Welcome to Manchester School of Samba. After you read this, you should hop over there to find out a bit more about us.
- Manchester School of Samba is Anthony Watt trading as “Manchester School of Samba (click here for office contact details)“. Manchester School of Samba (MSS), the first Samba School in the NW of England, formed in March 1995 to foster the appreciation
of Brazilian Carnival culture through rhythm, melody, dance and simple costumes.
MSS have provided an often life enhancing introduction to percussion and dance for hundreds of people as well as an opportunity for some to build on their knowledge and strengths, be inspired and make it part of their life. We currently have 70+
fully fledged members including dancers and drummers, and
for special occasions also like to recruit a brass section and puppeteers. We focus on Brazilian Carnival Art forms, and teach rhythms & dances from different parts of Brazil at all levels from beginners to advanced and are open to all people.

- Every Wednesday we meet at Sacred Trinity Church on the junction of Chapel St and Blackfriars Rd, very close to Manchester City Centre, for a very sociable rehearsal from 7.00 till 9.30p.m.
- With over a decade’s experience of providing crowd stopping shows, inspirational workshops and courses for schools and colleges, and motivational team building for a range of corporate clients if you are organising a function or event or perhaps want your workforce to enjoy an activity and be brought together as a team, we are sure MSS can help so drop us a line!

Hi Tony,
Nice to see you on here. Looks like you’re a pretty seasoned blogger. Still trying to get my head around WordPress (Tumblr is so much easier!), but persisting with it. I hope you’re well.

I wasn’t sure it was really you when I spotted the “Like”, so I checked out your blog (it’s very good by the way).
I’d say what I do on here is mostly blogging by curation with a smattering of self originated pieces, since I’m not much of a writer.
Never understood Tumblr… (I do much the same there )

Thank Tony. I don’t use this much but I do like writing. I should do more really. There are many music, yoga and generally life-related stories yet to be committed to the page.
I love tumblr but it took a while to get into it. For every amazing blog, there must be 99 crappy ones. I like that it’s not censored except that if you post nsfw content, you have to declare it in your settings meaning that your visibility drops drastically.

Hi Tony,
Colin here…
I’m heading up to Manchester on Wednesday to clear my Dad’s house. There are still some samba drums left in the garage and I was wondering if you’d like them for Manchester School of Samba.
Give me a shout if you’re interested.
Cheers,
Colin.
