Soul Festival - final evening
The 2008 Lake Angels Soul Festival reached its climax this evening with a packed stadium ground enjoying the Ska Rocksteady beat from the group La Ghenga. If you want to get a crowd on their feet and dancing then there are few bands around that can do the job like La Ghenga. Masterful tight ska rhythms from the band had the crowd calling for “encores” well in to the night but the real surprise of the evening and according to some observers, the surprise of the whole of Soul Festival, was the support group for this evening - The Joana pocket band.
On what was only their third official outing this evening this newly formed group is one to definitely watch out for in the future.
Great keyboards, inspiring vocals from Joana Paolinelli, solid backline drumming from JJ and some incredible guitar work from Alessio Bertani. (The last time I personally heard a chopping guitar sound coming from a guitar similar to this evenings performance it was in the hands of Wilko Johnson, famed guitarist of Dr Feelgood, the Solid Senders and Ian Dury’s Blockheads … hmm and that was over 25 years ago - Wilko Johnson on wikipedia )
Joana Paolinelli - Italian/Scottish singer | Alessio Bertani - guitar (area23)| Francesco Massagli - keyboards (myspace) | and our very own JJ Carde on drums.

- everyone : you will be sorely missed.
- W. Shakespeare : Lear? Not at all! Those words are lifted from Macbeth's soliloquy:"....L ife's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."
- Quentin Compson : Yes, Ma'am. It would be King Lear I believe, an allusion to the fool (and to Lear himself). But there is a more recent connection between Yokapatawpha and the Coldfields with a Biblical reference -- Absalom -- rather than the Shakespearean one to which you allude.
- poetry : Miss Coldfield, considered poetess laureate of Yoknapatawpha County, may simply be quoting Shakespeare, I do believe.
- Quentin Compson : Rosa: Stay in your own novel, please. You have no business in The Sound and the Fury, although I appear in both.
- Quentin Compson : Doggy, May I refer you to three sources on the Action-Theory dialectic? Albert Camus: "To do is to be." Jean-Paul Sartre: "To be is to do." Francis Albert Sinatra; "Do be do be doo." That should answer your question.
- Rosa Coldfield : ... it is a tale Told by and idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
- doggybag : Quentin - your constant focus on ideas over deeds makes you a highly unreliable commentator- quite often it is difficult to tell which of the actions you are suggesting are mere figments of your imagination and which you really do think should be acted upon.
- Quentin Compson : Hey, you two ought to get together sometime.
- Rosa Coldfield : Why of course : )
- Thomas Sutpen : Miss Rosa knows very well who will merely endure, and who will ultimately prevail
- Rosa Coldfield : It is not entirely clear, however, who has been sorest lately or with whom ; )
- Lord Beaconsfield : Welcom back, Barganews, you were sorely missed
- doggybag : fingers and legs crossed
- Santi : Thank you for answering my question.
- Cartier-Bresson : What a wonderful image of the equally wonderful Maestra Paola -- that could be no one else's elegantly gloved hand...
- Guest_4784 : the girl behind the bar is in the ALTANA rest. just inside the old city

- Guest_3522 : Scottish emigration to Malaysia ? - see «link»
- Guest_878 : the most scottish town with the most scottish idiots
- Guest_3522 : Re: Daily Images 26 July: Let us fervently hope that being "Italy's most Scottish town" doesn't bring more of this UK-style tagging and yobbish hooliganism to Barga. The vandals in question were two young men from Scotland. «link»
- doggybag : sorry Guest_4772 - the hordes of barganews technicians are working on it day and night -- expect some results shortly
