Night 2 in the Velveteen Lounge


My taiko family <3

Highlights:

• Hanging with my wonderful taiko friends, from ages 16 to 66


• Nailing Matsuri after being moved onto one of the really loud drums at the last minute


• The crowd loving both our performances


• The live music & performances in the Velveteen Lounge


• Carving up the dance floor with Lynden (age 66)


• Jamming @ Camp Taikoville


• All-in musician's jam with Em-Dee (amazing range of noises can be got out of a Japanese hand drum!

Lowlights:

• Hitting a festival already tired after a week-long audit (no personal space for 6 days!)


• No sleep on night 1


• High-speed yatai & my dodgy performance


• Hitting the exhausted, hungry and over-it wall with 3 hours to go until my lift home


• Doof-doof music is noisy and boooooring
