Bloco Garman

Bloco Garman

We are a Brazilian style Carnival band based in Wexford Under the tuition of Tom Duffy we became Bloco de Sud Este.

After a visit to a carnival weekend on the Isle of Wight Brazilian beats were brought to Wexford through an Adult Learners group by the VEC. Now in our ninth year we are self sustainable and go by the name of Bloco Garman, bringing bright Brazilian Carnival beats to the Sout East of Ireland.
