Violin Historian Cheniston K. Roland has a LOT (as in 12,000+) of recordings (LPs even) to share, plenty of stories to tell, and techniques you might find useful. He's played on 8 Strads, 2 Guarneri, knew Menuhin, Oistrakh, and the Beatles.

He said yesterday: “I was just very pleased and very honoured. If I were not involved in the various organisations I would not have been acknowledged in this way. I have always been involved in committees and charity work.

“I do it because I think the projects I work on are very worthwhile.”

Originally from Liverpool, Mr Swerdlow moved to Woodbridge after spending years visiting the area for the Aldeburgh Festival.

“Suffolk was the main place I used to come to on holiday, the music was a big part of why we moved here.



“This year will be the 40th year I will be at the Aldeburgh Festival; I used to come over from Liverpool and I was a member of the board of Aldeburgh music.”

Mr Swerdlow is still involved with Gainsborough's House in Sudbury working on the committee and with the directors on the programme of exhibitions.

He recently got involved with the British Association of Friends of Museums working as the coordinator for the six eastern counties.

Gary James' Interview With Beatles Photographer Tom Murray

Harry James Benson, CBE, born in Glasgow, Scotland, is an internationally renowned photographer. His pictures have appeared in many publications including Life, Vanity Fair, People and The New Yorker. With a body of work covering more than fifty years, and now in his seventies, Benson continues to work from his adopted home of New York, where he lives with his wife Gigi. He has two grown-up daughters.

Some of Benson’s photos are very well known. His first international break came when assigned to travel with The Beatles to America in 1964, and perhaps his most recognisable image shows the band erupting in a gleeful pillow fight on hearing that "I Want to Hold Your Hand" had reached number one.

Other celebrities Benson has photographed include Michael Jackson, who allowed him access to his bedroom, and Elizabeth Taylor, who Benson photographed before and after her brain surgery. He has also taken photos of political figures, including every US president since Dwight D. Eisenhower, and covered war zones.

Benson has been the subject of numerous exhibitions, taken over a hundred cover shots for People, published several books and won many awards. He was the subject of an award winning documentary directed by Ken MacGregor and written by William McIlvanney. Most recently he was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Scottish Press Photography Awards on April 25th, 2006.

He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2009 New Year Honours.
