Drumming up a double delight
SQUARE Chapel, Halifax, welcomes back the ever popular Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers tonight and tomorrow (7.30pm).
Thundering rhythms on huge taiko drums combine with delicate bamboo flute and subtle percussion in a spellbinding display of fluid grace, precise choreography and sheer athleticism.
Square Chapel marketing assistant Kate Hornby said: "Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers are the UK's first and only professional touring taiko group and Europe's most established performing company in this field, which is becoming more popular and expanding every year. Through their 10 years of rigorous touring, Mugenkyo have developed a gritty passionate style that is uniquely their own."
The group has appeared on TV and radio programmes, including the Brit Awards, the BBC's Last Night of the Proms and featured in a Bollywood film. Tickets are £12.50 (£10 concessions) from Square Chapel's box office (tel: 01422 349422).
