Cambridge United are pulling all the stops out for the visit of Hereford United to the Abbey Stadium tomorrow evening.
With the special offer of free entrance for children under 16, provided they are with an adult, and pre-match entertainment, the evening should be a colourful event.
The home supporters will be dressed in yellow and it is hoped Hereford fans will wear white. (It might help the Sky commentators!)
Cambridge United have sent Bulls News the following press release:
Tomorrow evening Cambridge United is bringing the flavour of Sun, Music and Football to the Abbey Stadium and their home match against Hereford.
With the weather forecast being predicted Hot, Dry and Sunny, the club via CFU is bringing the sound of Samba to the match to help provide a carnival atmosphere for the crowd via local community Samba band Arco Iris (http://www.arcoiris.org.uk/)
Arco Iris (Portuguese for rainbow) was first formed in 1992 by the local council to provide a means to involve the community in Samba music. They were originally led by Dave Willets, the Music Director of the London School of Samba - to whom the band owes a lot.
They have since grown and developed into a fun, talented and successful community group, with a particular remit to involve the community in what they do. They play numerous gigs in the local area, and occasionaly run local workshops for community groups and charities.
This summers successful gigs have included playing at the Windmill special school in Fulbourn, A Brazilian festival in Paris, the Drogheda Samba festival in Ireland (so a bit of international renown) The Junction in Cambridge, The St Ives festival, various college balls and Strawberry fair.
