The profiles of all 008 artists are now online at the 2015 Artists Page, or click the thumbnail opposite. We are also pleased to make a second announcement of artists, with the following addition to previous publicity:

• Hawaii (USA)「Herb Ohta Jr」
• Okinawa 「Kanako Horiuchi」

Herb Ohta,  Jr. is a ‘ukele evangelist. He has a throrougbred tradition in the instrument, inheriting a ‘ukelele master mantle from his father. We are pleased to welcome this first at WMDF! Kanako Horiuchi joined our event last year and this year we bring her back for a reprise on the final day.

The new additions to our lineup in part cover for the unfortunate cancellation of the planned artists from Italy and Sweden. We apologise for any disappointment caused. Please be assured that WMDF does its utmost  to ensure the successful completion of plans each year; sometimes there are just unavoidable circumstances. In the “Long Now”, we hope we will be able to succeed in bringing this year’s cancelled artists to our event.

To maximise your enjoyment of this year’s WMDF artist’s performances, we recommend a six-day sponsor pass, with its benefits of reductions at the WMDF bar and WMDF shop.
