Tribute to Andrew Siddall
They say God takes the good ones first and you were one of the very best. You will be deeply missed. I feel lucky and honoured to have been taught by you, and I will cherish those moments for the rest of my life.
Thank you for being present, for facing every challenge with humour and positivity. Thank you for teaching me resilience and helping me grow both as an individual and as an artist. Thank you for putting me in my place when I needed it, and for showing me that silence can be powerful. I have witnessed and admired so many of your qualities, and I strive to become as inspirational as you.
From our fun days at the pub to our most creative sessions, you shaped how I see the world and you helped me build the confidence I was lacking. You will always be loved and respected by your students, Sid, and that is how your legacy will live on; strong, present, and unforgettable.
It has truly been a pleasure. Rest in peace.
