We have compiled a roundup of some videos, photos and articles about the Belfast Carnival that took place on 27th June 2009.
Watch out for the MaSamba crew in the photos and videos, who played along with other samba bands from Belfast and Kilkenny – all in multicoloured outfits and wearing hats with little trumpets on our heads, playing Superstition by Stevie Wonder, It Must Be Love by Madness, La Bamba by Richie Valens, Twist and Shout by the Beatles, and a special tribute to Michael Jackson – Beat It.
If you have any more images/videos/articles that we should mention, please add the link to the comments below and we will add them to our compilation!
