Last night I went to The Good Ship in Kilburn to see the Kuricorder Quartet, a Japanese recorder based folk band playing on their first tour of the UK.

I first heard of them through Iain Lee’s Absolute Radio show. Iain frequently uses some of their recordings as beds during his shows. He is also very much responsible for the quartet being in the country.

The set was amazing and they certainly gained a number of new fans.

This is the Imperial March from Star Wars (recorded on a phone so the quality isn’t 100%): Kuricorder Quartet – Imperial March

The band even signed CD’s:

And to top the night off I met Iain Lee himself, shook his hand and had a chat!
