Andy Hamilton: Dedicate Lightwoods Bandstand in his memory

Andy Raphael Thomas Hamilton (26 March 1918 – 3 June 2012). Resident jazz musician at Bearwood’s Corks Club the ‘grand elder statesman of the Birmingham Jazz scene’ will always have a special place in our hearts.

Thanks to the Bearwood Promoters who organise great gigs such as The Bearwood Shuffle, Bearwood has a great track record promoting live music.

One day we hope bands will be proud to say, we are playing the Andy Hamilton Bandstand.
