As you all know, the samba school will enter a tough period when Fernando leaves for Brazil late May. Fernando has been a very dedicated member of the samba school, playing pretty much each gig and most rehearsals. Besides that he also is a great friend of most people in the samba school.
So, I was not going to let him go without organising something special. And a couple of weeks ago, an opportunity presented itself when I received an email from a new Brazilian restaurant in Bardon. This is an authentic Brazilian BBQ 'Churrasco' restaurant, and they needed a small bateria to play during their opening last week. Which six of us did. Instead of payment, I negotiated a number of food vouchers, as I could not think of a better place to have Fernando's official farewell dinner!
When: Friday night 14 May, 7pm
Where: Mundo Churrasco, 63 Macgregor Tce, Bardon
Could you please let me know by email asap if you want to join this special event? If you want to bring someone, please let me know as well of course.
Fortunately, this won't be the last we've seen of Fernando: we got two more gigs later in May, at SunCorp the next day on the 15th and in the Power House on Tuesday 18 May. Our first gig without Fernando will be at Sunnybank State Highschool, Friday 28 May.

Thank you Remko for your kind words.
I went there this weekend to try the churrasco and I can say that the food they serve is above average in comparison to good churrascarias in Brazil.
So sambistas, I hope to see you there!
I am there for sure
