Jam Session
Every now and again, something really out of the ordinary happens. And often it happens, just out of the blue. Last night in Piazza Angelio was one of the moments. A chance meeting at the Osteria Angelio bought together a wierd mix of musicians. The resulting music was something to be remembered for a long time to come. Two pipers from Scotland - Finlay and Iain, Sigurd a Norwegian didgeridoo player, Rory a Liverpool drummer, Barga's favourite musician - JJ Carde and even Keane pulled out and dusted off his Irish Drum.
   
   
   
   

Not the sort of sound you would expect to hear on enterering a medieval piazza in Italy but never the less, the mix of cultures, languages and instruments came together in a remarkable piece of music.
