Nigel Kennedy Sets Up Autumn 'Nigel Plays Hendrix' UK Shows
Wednesday, 13 May 2015
Written by Jon Stickler
Nigel Kennedy has announced a series of concerts inspired by the music of Jimi Hendrix.
The violin maestro will play three shows in mid-September, at Cambridge's Corn Exchange, Oxford's New Theatre and the Royal Festival Hall in London, backed by Doug Boyle, Julian Buschberger, Orphy Robinson, Tomasz Kupiec and Adam Czerwinski.
Kennedy said:
"What attracts me to Jimi Hendrix’s music is the amazingly open mind that he had. This was reflected in many ways; he was always gracious and never insulting to anybody and this showed through the music."
“There were any number of influences that he could hear through the compositions; these ranged from rock, blues and Celtic through to trance and experimental styles. Maybe that’s why I find it so natural exploring his music, having been involved in so many similar styles myself”.
Nigel Kennedy Upcoming Tour Dates are as follows:
Sun September 13 2015 - CAMBRIDGE Corn Exchange
Mon September 14 2015 - OXFORD New Theatre
Wed September 16 2015 - LONDON Royal Festival Hall
