Music Events for January & February

January 11, 2012 By Michael Lambe Leave a Comment

I have already written of the big event this month, the benefit Concert for Aidan O’Connor on Friday January 20th at Tadg’s on the 20th will feature three bands: Max Dodds & Trace Elements, Jay Gregg & Celtic Sounds, John Kuzel & Friends. All that entertainment plus a raffle & buffet to raise money for Aidan’s bone marrow transplant. Please check this previous post for details.

Here are some more upcoming events that are worthy of note.

As Tadg says, “Dale is one of the most admired and respected Irish Fiddle players in the World…This will be one of the premier gigs of 2012 in Kyoto.”

Alternatively back at Tadg’s that same night, “The Fabulous Antonio” will be playing a Samba & Bosanova Extravaganza from 8pm. Says Tadg, “The Fabulous Antonio entertains, with his rip roaring Bosanova Band sound.

Yugao cellist William says,

Kyoto’s most eccentric fusion quartet YUGAO – shakuhachi, cello, piano, tabla – returns home from a brilliantly accoladed concert tour of Spain and France. Don’t miss your chance to hear this unique only-in-Kyoto sound synthesis, newly invigorated and inspired and fattened on olives and wine. With an opening haiku/calligraphy improv featuring guest artist Katerina Nazarova. February 25th and 26th at Zac Baran. Be there!
