Nigel Kennedy has also worked with Sarah Brightman, in the song "The War is Over" Here's my source http://www.xs4all.nl/~josvg/cits/sb/sb1208.html
Kennedy was a student of Miss Amina Lucchesi (sp?) in Brighton. I, too, was a student of hers, back then in the 60's, and we and others played in a small orchestra she led.

Sorry I can't be the one to suggest one but you can hardly see him in the present photo? Maybe someone can note this comment and then remove it as it is no doubt in the wrong place! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.113.244.1 ( talk) 08:57, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
We need to understand the story. People keep on assuming Lauri Kennedy was Nigel's mother - HE was not, HE was a man and HE was Nigel's grandfather: [1]. Nigel's mother was a piano teacher named Scylla Stoner: [2], [3]. And it was Nigel's grandfather Lauri Kennedy, not his father John Kennedy, who played with Fritz Kreisler: [4], [5]. That was in 1935, when John Kennedy was way too young. This is from the Myspace page of Nigel's half-sister Debbie Kennedy, with various details, and she should have a fair idea. -- JackofOz ( talk) 06:17, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
I've added a link to allmusic.com using the {{ allmusicguide}} template, notwithstanding the nomorelinks warning. The number of external links in this article is manageable, and the allmusic.com links is a useful one and standard for articles of this nature. TJRC ( talk) 18:56, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Wasn't there a period when he was billed and generally referred to as just "Kennedy"? -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 19:09, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be a section about how he's essentially the Liberace of the violin? NeverWorker ( Drop me a line) 19:56, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
Hey isn't it just a personal opinion that he shouldn't change his accent from 'posh' to 'cockney'. Maybe I can identify every famous person who has gone from working class accent to received pronunciation and add a controversy section to their page. Gomez2002 ( talk) 16:09, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

I find this a little confusing. It is said he showed himself a prodigy by picking out Fats Waller tunes at the age of ten (which does not seem particularly noteworthy) but that would have been three years after he started at the Yehudi Menuhin School, at the age of seven, when he must presumably already shown signs of exceptional talent. Can someone clarify?

" A boy prodigy, as a 10-year-old he picked out Fats Waller tunes on the piano..."
I could do that when I was 10, and I'm certainly not a prodigy. Is this some kind of typo? If not, perhaps better to remove it; the next sentence, about starting at the Menuhin School aged seven, sounds much more prodigy-like. (I clicked the link to the cited reference, but it didn't work). Paulwilliam2 ( talk) 14:57, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
