Nigel Kennedy

[damon loves JT]

Not a "next to" but I also saw Muriel Gray going into the toilets on a Calmac ferry coming back from the Outer Hebrides.

Did you get a good view of the Minch?

Oh I say.

At Ronnie Scotts in London last night. Nigel Kennedy was playing George Gershwin music, once again in his Villa shirt. He played Rhapsody in Blue - "but I prefer to call it Rhapsody in claret and blue". I spoke to him afterwards and we had a chat about Jack Grealish form since his injury - "he gives them the eye now and they can only stop him by hacking him down". When I told him I'd been at the match on Sunday he was short and to the point: "You lucky bastard." Top bloke and and a proper Villa fan.

Agree 100%.  Coming out of the away game at Brighton he came towards us to do fist bumps.  I thought he had recognized my famous son but he actually remembered me from previous chats at VP.  That was the game when we had 17 corners in the last quarter and the mighty Brighton were hanging on for the draw.  Nigel said  "we have got a team again".  It took a year and a half but it came true eventually.

I have met/spoken with Nigel on a few occasions (he used to live close to my cousin in Malvern) - he is always friendly and engaging
My funniest encounter was at Newcastle where we had both attempted to ascend the steps to the away fans section/corner at too fast a pace .
We had both overdone it and were making "base camp" half way up - we started up a conversation which went something like -
" Hi Nigel....gasp.....how you ....gasp doing ?"
"Ace... gasp.... mate ... gasp .... how about..... gasp ......you?"
" This is  .....gasp .....all a bit ....gasp ...challenging"
" Fucking right .....gasp ....it is !"
"see you"
"yeh mate.... gasp .... up the  .....gasp.... Villa"
Priceless !!!!!

There must be someone else on here who can confirm this story, but I was having a slash in the bogs at Highbury in about 2004 when Nigel Kennedy walked in.  Beside me was a fellow Villa fan who had clearly been enjoying a few drinks prior to the game, and when he spotted Nigel he exclaimed 'Blimey, is that Nigel Kennedy!?'

Nigel duly confirmed it was indeed him, at which point our fellow Villan said 'I tell you what Nige, I f**king love your flute playing!'

Probably missing a joke or something but who's your famous son?
