About Judicael Strings

Judicael Strings is run by Bob Jiggins - an ex-university Lecturer in Sociology with particular interests in the politics of former Yugoslavia. Since having changed career I have trained at Leeds College of Music as a violin and guitar maker . I 've been playing the violin since the age of eight and was a cathedral chorister - although I no longer sing. As an amateur musician I play in the Huddersfield Philharmonic Orchestra and spend some time playing with computer midi systems.... badly... my compositional skills are dire

In general Judicael Strings is myself - although other members of the family provide varying levels of help and hindrance... my wife is a never-ending source of ideas and inspiration and is very good at admin (as befits an ex-university administrator) - I'm not... she's also extremely good at design and knows a great deal about Fair Trade and international political economy. The children merely grunt (normally) but can be persuaded into action if needed - the cat (Sophie - it's male - don't ask) is useless, the hamster (Badger) even worse - yet the dog (Dogma - for those who've read the Asterix books is short for ...guess) is extremely good at preparing bone for guitar nuts and saddles. Given the choice between best bone from organically reared cattle in Ireland and Corian - there's no contest...
