The bands Interpreters
The 'Italian Job' consisted of the band taking part in the town of Castrovillari's 44th annual Carnival event which ran from 2nd to 12th February. Many of the participants were local people but a large number was made up of Folklore groups from various countries including Egypt, Georgia, Sardinia, Spain, Yugoslavia and of course Scotland.

Every day, the band marched through the streets and provided music at indoor and outdoor events in Castrovillari and nearby towns. After daily duties, the band took part in the artists' events in the evening, featuring a wide range of music styles and dancing and usually consisting of a stage performance and/or live television event.

The tour was a great success in terms of the professional way in which the band conducted themselves before, during and after performances.

The band (the first pipe band to participate in the Castrovillari event) was well received by both onlookers and organisers alike.
