Above: Mike Greensill, now  resident and a citizen of the USA , myself and Dickie reunited outside the college in 1991

Dick Hawdon 1927 -2009  was  a  tutor and later head of studies on the Light Music Course which I attended at Leeds College of Music. He was a wonderful musician, a great educator and a very nice man. Many of us former students and friends and colleagues  attended his funeral and joned his family in a celebration of his life in Leeds  as seen here.

If you are not familiar with the life and work of Dick there is  an excellent biography and discography on  this site
