KM's Live Music shots has added a photo to the pool:

15th March 2019 at SOAS (Brunei Gallery), London WC1.

Part of SOAS Concert Series (free event).

Country: Italy (British resident). Style: Tarantella & Pizzica.

Lineup: Simona De Leonardis (v/tamburello/castanets/dance), Massimiliano Passante (v/tamburello), Alfredo Giani (v/mandola/g/dance), Cassandre Balasso-Bardin (recorder/gaita/willow flute), Antonio Fersini (g), Thodoris Ziarkas (b) with Mark Glanville (v/tamburello/bottle/dance).

I took photos of this band six years ago (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/albums/72157634133665155/). Now as then several band members were missing - this time including Carla Pandarese (v/dancer). Like then the group were joined by Mark Glanville whose bass baritone vocals were featured on songs in Griko. I have also phographed Cassandre Balasso-Bardin with Olcay Bayir (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/cassandrebalassoba...) and Thodoris Ziarkas with both Kalia and Yiannis Chaldoupis (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/theodorisziarkas,-...).
In this photo: Giani plays a Ashbury mandola.
