Andy Anderson (1936-2010), London – UKby Rob Howard |
 Roger ‘Andy’ Anderson, one of Britain’s most underrated accordionists died from cancer on March 7th at the age of 73. He also played the piano, and had a great natural flair and facility with keyboard instruments.Best known as an employee of John Leslie’s ‘Accordions of London’ and seen on the trade stands at accordion festivals for many years, Andy was also a brilliant accordionist and composer, whose talent was understated. Musically he owed much to the style of Django Reinhardt, yet had an originality that was admired by many. Andy played occasionally as the guest at accordion clubs, but was disinclined to pursue a career as a performer. Andy Anderson was a quiet, unassuming man, with a deeply held religious faith. He was well liked by all who knew him. Andy Anderson's funeral will take place on Tuesday 23rd March 2010 at 10.15 am at :- St Faith Crematorium, 75 Manor Road, Norwich, Norfolk NR10 3LF. "All are welcome to attend." Family flowers only please with donations, if desired, to:- Macmillan Nurses c/o. Peter Taylor Funeral Services, 85, Unthank Road, Norwich NR2 2PE. |
