Billy Bryans Day in Toronto: Sun May 6
April 29th, 2012
Billy Bryans at Havana Cultura
Sunday, May 6 will be Billy Bryans’ Day in Toronto.
The events will begin with a drum procession along Queen Street West, starting at 3:30 at Grange Park, stopping a various venues from Billy’s career, and finishing at the Cameron.
Then the action shifts to Lula Lounge for a memorial/celebration of Billy’s life (this is not a traditional funeral), with a service beginning at 6 p.m. followed by a musical program at 7.
More details to follow. Hope to see everyone there.
We are attending a wedding in Memphis this weekend otherwise would be there for sure.
Billy was a gentle soul, a wonderful percussionist and will be missed not only by the World Music folks but the industry in general.
R.I.P.
