URA MATSURI at Hoxton Hall

"this is one hell of a showcase for East and South East Asian music, performance, fun and culture." TO DO LIST
"..whimsical, unabashedly rebellious, no-holds-barred, grab-bag celebration of ESEA (East & South East Asian) culture and identity… dazzling, absurd, irreverent, or laugh-out-loud funny, but infused unfailingly throughout with joy..." Maiko Kawabata
Ura Matsuri 2024 at Hoxton Hall was a sell out show. 4 hour feast of showcasing fabulous live performances of East and South East Asian artists. The joy never stopped!
