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.
