Udonya Mentei & Yoshida Koichi @ Bar Hawkwind

Here are three clips from last Sunday night’s show at music bar Hawkwind, featuring legendary local folk musician “Udonya Mentei” and his buddy the shakuhachi player Yoshida Koichi. Both of these fine musicians will be playing at the Musicians Against the Aquarium event at Urbanguild on January 21st. Stick that one in your diaries!

First though, here’s a jolly number…

Then something slower…

And finally a rowdy sing-along (please note the guy shouting “hey! hey! hey!” and getting altogether carried away is NOT in the band):

Check out Koichi’s myspace page for more shakuhachi music with his own band Yugao.
