Lily, “The Pearl of Havana”, is a professional dancer, performer and dance instructor. With 22 years of training and performance, she can teach you any Cuban dance style, with a unique flavour of her own. Lily’s knowledge of ballet, contemporary and Afro-Cuban dance contribute to a beautifully integrated performance. Lily is also co-creator of Somos Cubanos.
Bios – Guests
Evan Greer is a radical genderqueer singer/songwriter, parent and community organizer based in Boston "USA". (S)he writes and performs high-energy acoustic songs that inspire hope, build community, and incite resistance! At 25 years old, Evan tours internationally as a musician and facilitates interactive workshops to support movements for justice and liberation. Wielding an arsenal of fiercely radical songs that vary in style from pop-punk poetry to foot-stompin’ bluegrass singalongs, Evan has shared stages with artists as musically diverse as Pete Seeger, Immortal Technique, Billy Bragg, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Boots Riley of The Coup, Pamela Means, Anne Feeney, Oi Polloi, State Radio, The Mammals, and Chumbawamba. Evan is a member of the 9-person Riot-Folk! Collective offering all of their music for free download at www.riotfolk.org
K Anderson describes his sound as 'lesbian music by a boy' - confessional, conversational songs about the important things in life - getting older, bad sex, and needing a special someone in your life who can shave your back hair for you. www.myspace.com/kandersonmusic
Based in Glasgow, Miss Leggy Pee performs with her diminutive collaborator & partner in crime, Charlie, at a number of cabaret, variety and burlesque events. She pops up most months at Spangled Cabaret (Rio Cafe, Glasgow - first Monday of each month - free entry) and often as a guest at End of the Month Club (13th Note Glasgow). As a member of the Club Tromolo troupe she toured rural northern Scotland in April 2008 with a gorilla, a ned and a band called Quinn. www.myspace.com/missleggypee
