Tish20R It sounds to me Nigel Kennedy is playing the right kind of Music here & ClassicFM have their ear plugs in.I want to hear music from the heart; that's what created the great composers in the first instance.If I can't listen to him play on Jurassic Fm,I shall listen to uncensored

Classic FM is to classical music what Heart FM is to popular music. Awful radio station and unfortunately my dialysis taxi driver listens to nothing else 😏

Classic FM I am disappointed if this article is accurate. Have been an avid listener for years

Scala Radio wouldn't have an issue with this, in fact they'd welcome it. Give them a try!

Farcical. Toys, pram… all of that. 🙄

XanderArmstrong ClassicFM MargheritaT My family regularly listens to Classic FM particularly on car journeys. There is not 'one type' of audience but many. It's possible to enjoy Classical music, Hip Hop, R&B and Jamaican dancehall music like I do!

Little Wing would be very interesting to hear in a classical setting.

Wouldn't expect anything less from Nigel, well done mate! ❤

'On 4 November, he will publish his memoir and release a three CD box set, both titled ‘Uncensored’.'
