Carlos Núñez

Carlos Núñez is regarded the world over as an extraordinary musician, one of the most serious and brilliant of his generation, and a true ambassador for Galicia and Intercelticism throughout the world.

Of the 8 statues to be created, the aim is to have 2 or even 3 completed by 2025. Discussions and agreements are underway with Carlos Nuñez, Paddy Moloney’s family and Gordon Duncan’s family.
