My friend Victor Evans, who has died aged 88, was the singer with the Birmingham-based jazz band Andy Hamilton and the Blue Notes.
Vic was born in Kingston, Jamaica, where he was a manual labourer, and came to the UK as a 30-year-old in 1964 to seek a better life. After a short spell in London he moved to Birmingham and eventually settled in the Ladywood district of the city, where he had met his wife, Joyce.
