South
Connections is a company limited by guarantee and a charity
whose aim is to teach, produce and perform carnival art.
We
have a launch and a launch party at which you can see the
designs for the following Carnival. People come and look at
the designs, hear the music and meet the masqueraders at the
South Connections launch party and decide if they would like
to play Mas with us at Notting Hill Carnival at the end of
August. We bring out a South Connections' Children's Band
on the Sunday as well as the South Connections' Adult Band
on the Monday. Masqueraders pay for the material costs of
their costumes but we provide music and transport on the day.
South
Connections takes part in a variety of additional events and
festivals around the UK including Margate, Norwich and Liverpool
Carnival.
We also
offer carnival workshops in our premises during carnival season
and in schools and community centres during the rest of the
year. South Connections is always pleased to be approached
for workshops and appearances.
