Billy Bryans, known to some as a member of the onetime Parachute Club and to others as an all-the-time, tireless promoter of world music in Toronto, is in palliative care after a return of cancer that had been in remission since 2006.
Like so many artists, Bryans’ safety net is his friends, who are gethering at Lula Lounge for a big fundraising concert tonight — a concert for which Alex Cuba is flying across the country specially.
