About us

Street Heat is the second oldest established samba school in the South West (after Bristol). Based in Exeter, Devon, it was created originally in Exmouth in 1991 as a voluntary community group.

Since then we have involved over 200 people of all ages and backgrounds - from absolute beginners to seasoned musicians! All are given the opportunity to experience the energy of playing this music, and to learn to perform it for others to enjoy.

Whilst based in Exeter we have members from many parts of Devon and beyond, and ages which range from players in their teens to their sixties. We usually have about 40 members at any one time, of which around 20-30 will typically perform at an event.

We have become a popular and successful band, playing many different venues: carnivals (London - Notting Hill, Nice, Berlin, Jersey - Battle of Flowers and events all over the South and South West of England), fêtes and festivals, as well as indoor gigs (lofty halls are best, but we'll do pubs and clubs if the audience can stand the sound level!).

One of our favourite gigs (for the great atmosphere) is busking in Sidmouth during the nationally renowned Folk Week - usually on the Wednesday night. The band has also appeared on national and local TV on half a dozen occasions including 'the Big Breakfast' and 'the Generation Game'.
