STUART LYON
London promoter
(1944-2021)
Known to generations of London concert-goers as “Uncle Stu”, Lyon began booking acts at the Hampstead Country Club in the late ’60s, including Elton John, David Bowie and Black Sabbath. He went on to promote shows at the 100 Club and Ronnie Scott’s, and as an avid world music fan brought Fela Kuti, Miriam Makeba and Hugh Masekela to London.
