From Havana to Liberty Hall

[Cle Club]

All welcome to a night of music on July 16th in Liberty Hall with a special guest, Alexander Suarez Mendez from Havana, Cuba, who recently performed at the Skibbereen Arts Festival as support to Liam Óg O' Flynn & Paddy Glackin. 

 Alexander is 23 and began learning music at 14 on the Galician Pipes. He started learning the uilleann pipes in 2011 from Gay McKeon at workshops in Havana. There are now more than a dozen uilleann pipers in Havana and Pinar Del Rio.  Alexander learned how to make reeds for the uilleann pipes from Donnacha Dwyer, who also visited Cuba. He now teaches Irish music on uilleann pipes and tin whistle to young people in Cuba.
