Another soul festival that is on my annual calendar is the Italian festival held in Porretta.
If you like good music, food and a relaxed atmosphere set in wonderful scenery then this is the event for you.
This year's event will feature a tribute to Memphis with The Bar-Kays, Shirley Brown, J. Blackfoot and others; Bobby Purify and Dan Penn and the Sunday night will conclude with a homage to the city of New Orleans The Neville Brothers, Irma Thomas & The Professianals, Davell Crawford.
You can get more details from
Poretta Soul Festival 2006
I read your line up for the Poretta Soul festival, then checked the Poretta website. Unfortunately, it is not quite as mouth watering as the line up you state here as it seems to be only the New Orleans musicians represented there this time. Still good though!
ReplyDeleteI think that Shirley Brown, J. Blackfoot et al might be on the line up for the following year.Many thanks for the lead though....
