Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

The long awaited DVDs of the Sydney World Shakuhachi Festival 2008 are finally in production and now on sale! 
There are eight DVDs in the complete set, and I'm extremely pleased with the production quality.

This link takes you to the "WSF08 DVD order page", which has all the information you need to order these DVDs.

These timeless DVDs present the highlights of WSF08. Lindsay Dugan has done a brilliant job filming, editing and producing these DVDs. Though not quite as good as having been there :-)  they certainly are a must for anyone who missed the Festival. The DVDs are also an excellent way for the lucky ones who did attend WSF08 to relive some of their innumerable great memories of the Festival.

The DVDs present some of the best shakuhachi performers in the world in concert, playing a variety of shakuhachi music styles and genres.
