ALWAYS PLAYING
Nigel Kennedy has become a cult figure, a virtuoso violinist whose 'punk' style, musical passions and love of the soccer team Aston Villa have drawn him to the hearts of millions. His uncompromising love of life and good music have broken
down both class and intellectual barriers. With classical masterpieces selling roughly 10,000 a year, Nigel has now entered the Guinness Book of Records for a million sales in the same period. Country by country, they are falling for his unbridled love of music.

Kennedy writes of his approach to life: his childhood, rebelliousness, attitudes and styles — the very things which have driven him to a position of such fierce independence. It's an intensely personal account of make-believe friends, frustration with conventions — even standing on a chair to try and punch God! It's a provocative account of one man struggling to find a musical niche and in fact ending up creating his very own. Award after award, even the Royal Variety Club's Show Business Personality of the Year, confirm his powers to communicate. The classical world is still reeling from his fresh attitudes. As Nigel puts it: 'We may play dead composers' works, but we don't have to look as if we're still at the funeral.'
