Yamato Drummers


Treated ourselves to some Japanese culture last night. With a tasty BOGOF meal at Wagamamas for dinner we bought tickets to see the Yamato drummers at the Brighton Dome. The warning posters mentioned 100 decibels and staff were handing out earplugs which was a good sign though it never got that painful or ringing. The bass sound-waves did ripple across the theatre with seat fixtures rattling at the beat of the largest drums. Two hours of drumming does sound a bit much but they combined some funny bits of pretend tennis playing, some miniature symbol shinanigins, some rockstar mandolin action and obviously full on drumming action. Prepare to get your hands sore after all the clapping as well as they were big on audience participation.

According to their Yamato website they've already done London for a few nights so you'll just have enjoy the YouTube video or even travel out of town. I also noticed their Jap-lish for the summer months scheduling as 'Undecidedness'.

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
