He also has an incredible range of activities on show for Easter in Walsall & has helped revitalise the St Matthew’s Quarter of Walsall.

He’s broken 5 Guinness World Recordsand all that’s before we talk about the biggest music festival in Willenhall where all the profits are ploughed back into the community.

Looking forward to interviewing Nigel Dutton on The Ian Henery Show - Black Country Xtra on Black Country Radio.

Apart from smashing 5 Guinness World Records.

Apart from helping to raise over £12m for good causes with his colleagues in corporate life over 25 years.

Apart from curating a history-making annual music festival with his hardworking and tireless team of volunteers that sees Willenhall people getting into the groove and then all of the profits ploughed back into the community.

Apart from all that (Harry Constable - and I so want to say:
“Taxi for Mr Jagger?”)

Yeah - apart from all that -

He has helped revitalise the St Matthew’s Quarter of Walsall with music and activities for the community and I’m looking forward to finding out what he has planned for Easter.

Apart from all that he’s also Tour Manager for The Crypt at St Matthew's Church, Walsall which is the oldest building in Walsall.

The steps leading into it go through a Saxon archway of this Norman building. Nigel and his volunteers run annual heritage days in this historical treasure which stands on a hill overlooking the town of Walsall.

All of this relies on the endless work of the heritage team and building management team.
