The legendary Hailu Mergia is set to play Birkenhead’s most exciting music venue this September.
Future Yard will bring the Ethiopian keyboardist, master accordionist and veteran bandleader to the Wirral on Tuesday 6th September as part of their FUJAZZI series; a regular set of shows exploring the outer edges of jazz.
Hailu Mergia rose to prominence in Ethiopia in the 1970s, leading the Walias Band in their exploration of hard funk, traditional music and jazz in Ethiopia’s capital.
