ABRAM WILSON - MEMORIAL SERVICE AND FOUNDATION

 

We would like to thank you all for your messages of support over the last couple of weeks, it has been very moving to see just how many lives Abram touched during his time with us.

 

Abram will be laid to rest in Utica, Mississippi at a private, family ceremony on Saturday 23rd June.

 

There will be a public memorial service to celebrate Abram's life in London on Wednesday 25th July.  We will begin the afternoon with a New Orleans style funeral procession starting at 1:30pm near St John's Church, Waterloo Road, SE1 8TY.  The exact meeting point for the procession will be confirmed at a later date. 


The procession will lead us into St John's Church where the memorial service will begin at 2pm.  We very much hope that you will be able to join us to remember Abram - his enthusiasm and joy for music and life. 

 

Dress code: This is a celebration of life and Abram loved colours, therefore please wear something colourful!

 

In honour of Abram and the work he still had left to do, we are establishing a foundation.  To kick start the foundation we would like to complete one of Abram's final projects, Philippa.  We would ask that you consider a donation to this project instead of condolence cards or flowers.

 

In the next few days we should be able to send you an update on how you can donate. Please keep checking back for more details.

Thank you for ensuring that a great man will live on. Requiescat in pace.
A fitting tribute to a fantsatic talent. I had the pleasure of meeting him whilst I worked at Kings Place, London and he was the nicest most engaging person I have ever met . He will be sorely missed both as a performer and a person. I hope that I will be able to attend the Memorial service later in the year.
I'm definitely going all out to attend. God willing and all that Jazz xx We have a new Saint in Heaven xxx
I had the briefest of conversations with Abram Wilson when he performed with my cousin Harmonica Bluesman Errol Linton during Errol's show at the Hideaway Club, south London. Of course Abram was amazing to listen and see LIVE! He gave me his business card and told me to get in touch...I will when we meet again in the new Heaven and the new Earth!
