Is there a recording of the music played at the concert, only their fourth to date? Nigel replies in the affirmative. Will it be a hit? It will be a hit in the Nigel Kennedy's household and if he does not receive support from his son, Nigel will start charging him rent! The CD should be in the shops in May (2003). A voice from the darkness at the back asks if the income from the CD will be split equally to which Nigel replies: "Most certainly not!" Somebody enquires as to the use of a sound track during the concert and Nigel explains that Henley management could not afford to pay for a percussionist as well! More questions follows: Nigel explains that now he spends most of his time in Krakow&ldots; A voice from the darkness asks Nigel about his tax liabilities&ldots; Nigel pleads poverty: he is asset rich but income poor: he will have to sell one of his houses and the swimming pool&ldots;

Stewart Collins remarks that this is not quite the kind of questions they were expecting the public to ask Nigel and that perhaps questions should be submitted in writing. The public asks another question about the music we have heard during the concert: basically it expresses hope but at the same time it is also very sad, will the same arrangements be heard on the CD? THE voice from the darkness butts in asking about the arrangements in the Doors Concerto - Jazz Coleman!!! Nigel lets out a squeal of delight and leaps on his feet: You f***er! You didn't tell me you were here! A tall lean dark man slides forward, black hair, black eye brows, black shirt and black trousers and when he reaches the stage inside the Towpath Marquee Kroke stand up as well and it is hugs all round!

A few more questions follow including ones on Aston Villa and Nigel antics on the stage: I only do this on the stage, when I am at home I am just a normal dad! Stewart Collins comments on the fact that Nigel has monopolised all the answers and that Kroke have said very little! Perhaps if there was somebody Polish amongst the public, he asks several times. Nobody steps forward but Nigel points to a figure shuffling about in the dark: There is my wife! A stunningly good looking woman dressed in a black trouser suit walks forward. She is welcomed with a cuddle by Nigel who stands up offering her his chair. He answers more questions: does he play music together with his wife? The poor girl turns crimson whilst trying to hide her face behind her hair. Most certainly not, he replies!

Will Nigel be playing again in England? If they will let me quips Nigel to which the lady who asked the question replies that she is sure that Henley would be delighted to have him back next year, perhaps with the percussionist as well! If Henley Festival budget stretches that far! We all beg Stewart Collins to have Nigel back next year. Nigel adds that there are a couple of concerts next October, no, one is being finalised and sadly comments on the fact that one of his favourite venues has been turned into a lap dancing club!

We have by now very much overrun our schedule, the interview draws to a close and Nigel starts leaving the stage, people move forward and ask him: "Do you remember me? We met&ldots;" Some people hustle Nigel offering him their programmes for signature, he signs a couple, the minders rally round him ushering him along. Some more girls tap him on the arm, Please Nigel sign my programme&ldots;Nigel is being shepherded along away from the Towpath Marquee by the minders&ldots;

The next artist is waiting in the wings to enter the stage of the Towpath Marquee...
