Elderly Pianist In Care Home Advertises For Bandmates On Gumtree, Gets Overwhelming Response

Edward Hardy played in a jazz quartet for almost 40 years after serving in Japan during World War II but had nobody to play with once he moved to the home in Wookey, Somerset. With the help of kind-hearted care worker Sam Kinsella, Mr Hardy appealed on Gumtree for bandmates to jam with. The reunited jazz quartet are now in rehearsals for a show at Mellifont Abbey care home in 2016.
