Four bagpipers... four taiko drums... What could possibly happen?
I have seen Uzume Taiko perform with one bagpiper before...
Uzume Taiko & Mearingstone's performance together should be a musically adventurous evening. I am looking forward to it. There is a long history of Japanese-Canadians and Scottish-Canadians mixing in Vancouver. more »

I have never been to a military tatoo at Edinburgh Castle, but after watching the video of the 78th Fraser Highlanders "Salute to the Veterans" at BC Place, during the Nov. 3rd BC Lions half-time show... and feeling the stirring sounds of bagpipes... I could well imagine. I shoulda been there!!! more »
