Line up to see what happens when Tatsuhisa Yamamoto’s gentle-but-smashing percussion bumps up against Rai Tateishi’s burbling bamboo flute. Look for it to propel, shuttle and bump. Tripped and spun, ready for fun.

Catch the first night of a 10-gig tour for Manos Barkatsas, guitarist from Greece. Starting things off nicely in this trio, to be well complimented by Tatsuhisa’s propelling drums and Kota Yamauchi’s whirling guitar. After this it’s one night at Polaris with Victor Tsilimparis (Polaris), seven nights as a duo with Shoji Hano (all spots between Tokyo and Osaka) and a final night in The Poketto, back with Yamamoto and crew (Nanahari).
