THEIR music could hardly be more different.
Rhydian Roberts, just 24, is the new X-Factor singing sensation and Andy Hamilton, aged 89, is a jazz saxophonist with a pedigree stretching back many decades.
But the careers of both have blossomed right here in Birmingham so it is right that they should be awarded honorary degrees by Birmingham City University's acclaimed Conservatoire.
They represent the wealth of talent that flourishes here in Birmingham across the generations and across the the many communities that make up this city.
Congratulations to both performers on the honour.

perhaps this posting could be digressive but anyway, Having been surfing through your site I must comment on how it is well presented and professional. It is clear that you know your topic and you are passionate about it. I am doing up a new site and I am struggling to make it come out great, as well as pass on the best message. I’ve learnt much from your website and also I look forward to your future posts. Please include the email that I have submitted into your mailing list and let us know when you make new posts. Thanks.
