Visit to Salisbury by Casalbuttano and Offanengo Bands In 2017 we were lucky to host a brief, but packed, visit by our friends from Italy in Salisbury's historic Guildhall. The evening began with a short concert provided by the Learners' Group who played "Midnight Mission" and "The Grand March from Aida", with our visitors, accompanied by an impromptu choir. This was followed by the visitors' stirring renditions of "E' Arrivato L'Ambasciatore", accompanied by Helen Palmer, busking on a borrowed baritone. The evening finished with both bands combining to perform a variety of modern dance pieces conducted by Clive, with some splendid dancing from the non-playing guests. We finished the evening with another spirited renditions of "Leganda Del Piave", played by all the muscians under the direction of Andrea Maggioni.
