U.K. Tour 2000

Nine members of Wajima Kiriko Taiko have just returned from their whistlestop tour of the U.K. The tour was a great success and the group were able to play a range of events and do a bit of sightseeing in their time off. On the evening of the 27th of July we played at Lumley Castle in County Durham for the North East of England Anglo-Japanese Society. On Saturday 29th July we were at Cardiff Bayside performing at the MAS festival as well as at "Izakaya" a new Japanese tavern in the bayside development. On Sunday 30th of July we performed in Exeter at a community event called "Music in the Park" along with British "wa-daiko" group, Kagemusha The events allowed the group to display their unique culture and at all the events audience participation was both encouraged by the group and lapped up by the waiting audiences.
