Salamanders live at the Fiaccolata

salamanders of barga 20091209_0007 On the occasion of the 30th  annual Fiaccolata -  the torchlight procession held at Gallicano this weekend  there was an added attraction of a concert of live music,  which should have taken place outside in the Piazza but due to the inclement conditions was moved inside to the sala Guazzelli.

Featured amongst the four groups  on stage that evening were The Salamanders -  the majority of this group coming from Barga  and all of their songs  written by two members of the band – Tortelli and Lugliani (no cover band this time but some real music).

Noah has featured on barganews in the past with other versions of his bands  (article here) but The Salamanders is a brand new version as it was formed in October with the drummer only joining them last month in November but already they are starting to make some waves on the local music circuit.

Noah Heraclitus Tortelli: Voice, Guitar, Harmonica | Marco Lugliani: Lead Guitar |  Giuseppe Jos Venturi: Bass Guitar | Diego Bacci: Drums & Percussion

The Salamanders take their name from a song called Salamander by one of Paolo Nutini’s support bands – Will and the People
