Nigel Kennedy
Nigel Kennedy (born 28 December 1956) is a British violinist and violist. He made his early career in the classical field, and has more recently performed jazz, klezmer, and other music genres.
Musical background
Nigel Kennedy's grandfather was Lauri Kennedy, principal cellist with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and his grandmother was Dorothy Kennedy, a pianist. Lauri and Dorothy Kennedy were Australian, whilst their son, the cellist John Kennedy, was born in England. After graduating from the Royal Academy of Music, at age 22, John joined the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, later becoming the principal cellist of Sir Thomas Beecham's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. While in England, John developed a relationship with an English pianist, Scylla Stoner, with whom he eventually toured in 1952 as part of the Llewellyn-Kennedy Piano Trio (with the violinist Ernest Llewellyn; Stoner was billed as "Scylla Kennedy" after she and John married). However, they ultimately divorced and John returned to Australia. Nigel Kennedy has about 30 close relatives in Australia, whom he visits whenever he tours there.

Nigel Kennedy (politician)
Myles Storr Nigel Kennedy (12 October 1889 – 19 January 1964) was a British barrister, army officer, and politician. He served a single term in Parliament as a Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP), but never contributed to any debate. He was a member of Lancashire County Council for nearly twenty years. His Military and political career came to a premature end when his colourful private life brought about a court judgment against him and resulted in his bankruptcy.
He was the last proprietor of Roanhead mines, which he managed from 1914 until they were worked out in July 1942.
Early life
Kennedy's father, Myles Burton Kennedy, was a Deputy Lieutenant and High Sheriff of Lancashire who lived in Stone Cross near Ulverston in the Furness or North Lonsdale area of the county. Kennedy was his eldest son and was born in Ulverston in 1889. He attended Harrow School before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge. He was admitted to the degree of a Bachelor of Arts in 1911, and proceeded to the degree of Master of Arts in 1916. After leaving Cambridge, Kennedy began to study law through the Council of Legal Education.

Transfigured Night
by: Nigel Kennedy(English Translation)
Laugh at something serious
Cry from something funny
In half light
Green has now changed silver
The moonlight
Shines down on rolling hills
Yeah
Hello Edward Elgar
I feel your spirit here
I'm here too
Hills, dark yet light
Transfigured into something new
Almost reached the top
Radiant mist on the fields, rising
Look at Duffy looking
A sea of clouds has almost reached our feet
Whatever's happening in ming?
Oh Yeah
Miracles that I'm going to find
I believe
Time stands still while the mist recedes - glow white
And still the moonlight casts it's spell, transfigured night
When we experience eternity
Change can bring reality
(Woolspiel Translation)
Laugh at something serious
Cry from something funny
Leh arf light
Re has not la sliver
Ma oom light
Shies don on er rolling hills
Nighh
Han a edwen elgar
I feel your spirit heegrp
Nie meng too
Hills la cliss bite
Nans figured into something noow ah oooh
Frome mash breach fitar
Rain yet mes fuck ard ills, rising
Lok hat duffy look ed
Ars see on brown eyes ork usfres off frest
What ever's ap ning en my mike?
Ar yeh
Ril laf oz that i'm going to fine
Wi me ee
Stime stad still while my mistresses - so wot
Hand stell my moonlight harse re spel night transfigured flight
When we experience eternity
