Thanks for the links Sally, but 've already read the thread and most of the events are in early July or August, when were not there. Ferruccio Spinetti is playing in the south of the region on the 25th but this quite a drive from where we are staying in Sant Angelo in Pontano.
I'll try to find more info from the other link.

From their Comune website - [url=http://www.santangelo.sinp.net/sinpv2/Aspx/c/Home.aspx]Comune di Sant'Angelo in Pontano[/url]

Hi Nigel, I see you are staying just down the road from us , I will keep a look out for events for you, does Amanda tango or waltz, theres alot of that around here!, I am too much of a novice to join in, they do it so beautifully and with real style.There is usually a big music festa in Francavilla, am going there tomorrow will ask about the dates.

In looking in the provincial publication, Sensi Piceni, there is at least one musical event every day that you will be here in the Ascoli Piceno province. Unfortunately this is not assessable at one source on line but when you are in the area stop by a local tourism office and ask for a copy.

If you like opera, then the sferisterio in macerata has a great programme for the end of july and into august. This year the main operas are tosca and carmen. check the link on our web site for more info.

Thanks to all,
Tango or Waltz? she'l try anything after a glass of red. Its more jiggling about than anything else.
I have seen that the rock band Europe are playing in Ascoli Piceno on the 26th and i had thought we would miss the San Severino Blues festival. I have now seen there are still a couple of dates when the Blues festival hits Appignano and Treia.
Might get to some of these. To be honest i'm more of an Artic Monkeys fan or something similar. We'l have to see.

Think the opera may be pretty well booked up by now Pat, friends went last week for tickets and there were only a few left, they managed to get 4 for 100e each, and 2 for 40e but not good seats,

Thanks for the info. Thats a shame, its actually Amanda's B'day on the 27th and Carmen is on at the Opera that night. We we going to turn up and see if we could get in.
I didn't think prices would be so expensive though. Then again i've never been to the opera.
Never mind, i'm sure a nice meal will do but we might yet find something else.

How opportunistic!!!

Thanks MarcheBreaks.
I've never actually come accross the website before and many of the links on the site are ones that i have never found via Google and other search engines. I had thought i'd seen most of what Marche has to offer on web regarding properties for sale and tourism, but i'll have to look again.
STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE SITE !! - Might now even fit in some white water rafting, cycling or fishing.

Nigel, lucky you staying in Sant'Angelo. (Il Monastero by any chance?). It was the area round there that sold southern Marche to us. There are two restaurants in Sant'Angelo. The more expensive one has an outside eating area from where you have quite a good view, the other is very reasonable and was 'run' by Grandma. There is another just outside the town that has a good reputation but it was closed when we were there.
Annie.

Great website!

Unfortunately (or fortunately for us!) the cycle hire they mention is for a minimum of 90 days. We hire by the day so if you fancy some road biking or mountain biking, drop us an email or give us a call.

If you are looking for "what's on" info, go to the local newsagent when you get here and ask for a copy of "corriere proposte" as it lists ALL events for the month in Marche. They have a website but it's awful - can't find a thing unless it is in 2005:wideeyed:

Might do yet, but for the moment i think we'll play it by ear. Thanks for the offer though. You dont know any companies in the area that would hire scooters or a Vespa do you? :smile:

I know somewhere that hires road legal quads but not scooters I'm afraid. You don't see that many of them around here - more api than scooters. Maybe it's just too hilly??

[quote=AngelDiMana;92805]Hi All,

We will be visiting the Southern Le Marche region between Macerata & Ascoli Piceno from the 22nd July until the 31st (house hunting) and would love to attend some live music events.
Prefer something Indie or acoustic but not too bothered. I cant find too much on the internet or the forum.
Does anybody know whats on?
My girfreind Amanda does love a good dance. :Dancing_tongue:[/quote]

This link is for an on-line listing of mainly Indie music, you need to wait a couple of seconds and then scroll down to Marche section. Just come back from seeing Editors and REM on the final night of UmbriaJazz- what a setting, what a gig and its only an hour and a quarter from this side of the Sibillinis

Cheers Damiano, Thats more the sort of thing i'm in to. Do we get this kind of thing in Le Marche?
Nige

The only big names this year were (Youve missed em) Joe Jackson, The Futureheads and Pete and the Pirates. There's been some other good Italian bands like Radio Babylon (SKA) - they play Porto san Elpidio on Saturday, and we saw meganoidi at Tolentino (were Ska now Indie)- its best to check them out on youtube first, its mostly coversbands though- The Kingstones do a good camped up Jagger and chain smoking richards impersonation and are playing Amandola on Friday, The Devotees are a Depeche Mode cover band playin Amandola on Saturday night.

Hope that this helps

Blimey!! I didn't know Depeche Mode were that popular that they have a cover band!!.

Yep, they are still going and have an enormous following, they have had 11 albums, a number of greatest hits collections and a multitude of singles, I saw them at Flicks in Dartford 28 years ago, but lost touch with their music, but was recently reintroduced and was surprised, their most recent material is some of their best- moving away from electronica and pop to decent avante garde rock.

Also, they have to be one of the only groups with a current lead singer who came back from the dead. Here's a link [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depeche_Mode]Depeche Mode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url]
