Continuing my review of past concerts... In August 2019 I was lucky to host brilliant US sitarist Josh Feinberg for a few concerts in and around Brisbane, before he headed off to Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney. It really was a pleasure to accompany Josh and to have some fun chats and games in the evenings too. Unfortunately I was a bit lax with getting photos of the concerts...

Then the following week we hosted a small event at Space Saraswati again, featuring several Indian music artists either from Japan or connected to and active in Japan, the second in our series of concerts entitled "Japan Gharana". ("Japan Gharana #1" was held in January 2018.) This edition featured sarangi player Kenshin Okada, Chhau dance by Yogeshwari Giri, mantra by Mico Sundari, slide guitar by Shivam Rath, and tabla by myself.
