MUGENKYO Taiko Drummers are about to set off on their autumn tour, following their high profile appearance on the Last Night of the Proms broadcast live on BBC2 in September.
This collaboration with piper Stuart Cassells, the Scottish Young Musician of the Year was followed by a collaboration of a very different sort - with the Japanese folk dance, song and drum group Hanayui from Sado Island, Japan - a show which toured for two weeks in September/October 2005.
On Mugenkyo's main autumn tour, they return to the taiko drums at their most pure and most powerful. Thundering rhythms, huge taiko drums, highly choreographed movement, all presented in a modern stage show which is a spectacle to behold.
Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers are the UK's first and only professional taiko drum group, established in 1994 following intensive training in Japan.
You can see the MTD at Stratford Civic Hall on Tuesday, November 15 at 7.30pm, £12 and £10, call 01789 207100.
