Musician?s memory will live on

Some of "The 'Rags' Gladwyn Richardson Musical Scholarship" trustees accept the donations collected at the tribute to Mr. Richardson. L-R: George Kezas, Nell Bassett-Harris, Miles Manders, Crystal Richardson-Anderson, Stuart Hayward

A scholarship has been established for young musicians in memory of Gladwyn (Rags) Richardson who died last month.

Mr. Richardson was a well known musician on the Island. A tribute was held on August 28 at the St. George's Club and a number of Bermuda's finest musicians came to pay their respects.

The Griffin Group, which is made up of George Kezas, Milt Robinson, Kenny Harris and Jeff Marshall, invited a number of the musicians on stage to join them in a jam session.

Through donations the event raised $350 for The 'Rags' Gladwyn Richardson Musical Scholarship Fund.

The scholarship will go to a deserving young person who is seriously pursuing a musical career through their instrument.

It is hoped that the event will happen annually to raise funds for the scholarship.
