Hi. I played with Nigel Chippendale's Folk dance Band whilst he lived over the Hobgoblin Music Shop in Crawley, regularly during the 2 years leading up to his death. I played his baritone sax, which is pictured in Chippendale's Cheerie Tunes, flute (but not at the same time) and accordian. I was so very upset when I heard that he had died in hospital. We played all over the place. A few times just he and I did gigs. He would always say, it goes like this (having no written music) 'tum ti dum di diddly di, diddly dum di' etc then repeats the second goes 'tum di etc..
I would always say got it or words to the effect (for politeness), but just used my ears. He could play one of squeeze boxes, electric bass pedals (when I wasn't playing bari sax), call the dances, all at the same time. So much fun I had!
