He spent the greater part of his career in England; the date of his arrival is not known, but he was in London by spring 1725 when he took part in a performance of Handel’s opera Tamerlano at the New Theatre in the Haymarket. This information derives from a handwritten note on Weideman’s own copy of a set of trio sonatas ascribed to Handel: ‘Tamerlan 1725. which was the first Opera I play’d in … C:W:’ (see Deutsch, p.174). By the time Quantz visited England in 1727 Weideman was firmly established as one of London’s leading flautists. He is also remembered as a co-founder, with Festing and Thomas Vincent, of a charitable ‘Fund for the Support of Decayed Musicians and their Families’. This institution, later known as the Royal Society of Musicians of Great Britain, was founded in April 1738 and attracted widespread support from eminent members of the profession, Handel included. Weideman’s activities in London musical circles were many and varied: he engaged in fund-raising concerts for the newly formed society, was in frequent demand as an instrumentalist, produced a succession of compositions, and composed minuets for the court balls. In 1778 he was a member of the King’s Band of Musicians with an annual income of £100. Weideman’s chamber and orchestral works, though a little unenterprising, are neatly constructed and show a sympathetic understanding of woodwind techniques; stylistically, they reflect his known admiration for Handel’s works. The occasional music is in a lighter vein. His songs are charmingly simple, and one at least proved extremely popular with audiences at Vauxhall Gardens. According to G.C. Lichtenberg, Weideman was the flautist depicted by Hogarth in the fourth picture of Marriage à la mode.
