Passing of Graham Kirkwood
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Graham Kirkwood. Graham was a lifelong musician and tremendous supporter of the Niagara Hamilton branch as a player, teacher, and judge. The expertise and laughter he brought to the world of drumming will be deeply missed.
In memory of Graham the family wishes to have monetary donations go to the Branch. All donations will be put towards future Agnew Harrison competitions. If you would like to make a donation please send an e-transfer to the email address below.
