 The Barga Jazz Big Band takes Barga by storm.

With the ever dulcet tones of Barbara Casini lilting through the warm August night, the Barga Jazz Big Band brought the Piazza to its feet after a 3 hour romp through some of the classics of big band music. The main road, usually full of honking cars, was replaced by tables and hundreds of seated people enjoying the music. Standing room only in the rest of the piazza. A free plate of pasta served by amongst others, the Mayor, Vice Mayor and members of the council finished off the evening in high style. Some members of the audience were overheard asking if "they had died and gone to heaven" ...no, not heaven but still a night to remember.
