Welcome, friends, far and near...........if you're a Nigel Kennedy fan, you're a friend !
My name is Elsie and I am a Nigelfreak. I love listening to Nigel, watching Nigel, talking to Nigel, talking about Nigel, reading about Nigel, writing about Nigel, and, above all, sharing Nigel.
I want to share my passion with you and I invite you to share your passion with me and with anybody who visits this site. Send anything you feel like sending to me and in no time at all, you'll be able to read it on this site !
If you want to read Nigel's biography or check his discography, I suggest you visit the EMI page.......you'll find a link to it on the appropriately titled Links page !
Almost everything else on this site is subjective. If you see anything that displeases you, let me
know.......... I aim to please !
This is one of the most compelling tracks on A Very Nice Album. It's called 'Father and Son' and it's hard not to believe that it reflects Nigel's relationship with his own son, Sark. Just listen !
What's new.....
NEW PAGE !!!A new page has been added introducing the other four members of the Nigel Kennedy Quintet
. Read about their individual musical lives past and present and enjoy the sexy pictures ! Click on THE NK QUINTET. (Nigel thinks this is a great idea...........I asked him !)
NEW ! Yummy concerts in Australia in 2010 added. They're not yet confirmed, so check back often on the CONCERTS page. * I've also added one more concert in Poland and the programme and performers at Club 606 in December.
The well-known writer Jessica Duchene has a fascinating story to tell about her experience at Nigel's concert at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. Check it out on KENNEDY EXPERIENCES.
While you're there, enjoy Alina's account of her experience at Nigel's last minute concert in Bucharest, Adam's description of Nigel's Bach/Ellington concert ( and his suit !) at the Tower of London, and the thoughts of George Szirtes (no less !) on Nigel's concert in Whitehaven.
You can read a Romanian review of Nigel's concert at the George Enescu Festival in Bucharest.......don't worry, I've translated it into English ! You can also read a short review of his concert in Whitehaven by Alan Cleaver. And JohnnyFox was there at the Tower of London for Nigel's Bach/Ellington concert. You'll find them all in MEDIA CLIPS.
You can listen to Nigel play "The Londonderry Air" as an encore in Bucharest. It's a good one ! Just click HERE.
