Garibaldi! - One4Review

Mike Maran is an engaging storyteller and he has a remarkable story to tell in words and song. In 1860 Garibaldi started with only 1000 volunteers yet he brought about the unification of Italy by his leadership qualities and military skills against much greater numbers. He introduces a Scottish connection into the story with a fictional character, Adie Brunton, a tailor from Leith who ran away to sea. He finds himself in Genoa and is inspired to join Garibaldi’s forces. David Vernon provides the musical accompaniment as the story unfolds. Mike Maran explains with clarity the life and times of Garibaldi. There is something of the lecture style approach in his method. He uses a map of Italy to illustrate the geography of Garibaldi’s campaign. Nevertheless, his manner is relaxed and amiable. It is very easy to sit back and enjoy! ***
