Nigel Kennedy

"Nigel Kennedy - modern phenomenon, enfant terrible, soccer crazy, hard drinking genius..." Storm Thorgerson

For over twenty-five years, Nigel Kennedy has been acknowledged as one of the world's leading violin virtuosos and is, without doubt, one of the most important violinists Britain has ever produced. His virtuosic technique, unique talent and mass appeal have brought fresh perspectives to both the classical and contemporary repertoire. He is the best selling classical violinist of all time.
