John Etheridge is one of the world’s most respected guitarists and his music spans a myriad of styles and influences. He was the guitarist for the celebrated jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli and he has also performed with Soft Machine, Pat Metheny, Andy Summers, Dizzy Gillespie, Nigel Kennedy and John Williams.  With a powerful improvisation technique, a feel for expression and an individual musical concept his work is hugely passionate, and enchanting to hear. So take this a rare opportunity to see John Etheridge performing a solo concert, which features tracks from his highly acclaimed new album I didn’t know.

“I never wanted to be a star, just a highly respected musician like John Etheridge.”

Sting – The Guardian

“ One of the best guitarist’s in the world”
Pat Metheny – The Times

John’s special guest on this tour is Kit Holmes - a singer/songwriter and rising guitar star. Her music fuses a broad range of influences from pop to folk, blues and soul. Kit's debut album, which features the legendary double bass player Danny Thompson, was recently played on the Bob Harris Show and the Andy Kershaw Show She recently gave a master-class at Paul McCartney’s LIPA and earlier this year performed at the International Guitar Festival, London.
