John Etheridge – Guitar

Entry: members £10 non-members £12
John is a musician who injects joy and spontaneity into every performance. He enjoys a glowing reputation throughout the jazz world and his unique approach to performing jazz that refuses to be simply categorised allied to an enthusiasm for performing goes some way to explaining why he has long been a particular favourite at Googlies. Worked with Soft Machine from 1975 and just a few of the artists he has played with are Stephane Grappelli (1977-81), John Williams, Yehudi Menuhin, Dizzy Gillespie, Elton Dean, Nigel Kennedy, Pat Metheny and Barney Kessel. He completed his latest Soft Machine tour this May – Prog Magazine stated ‘No band of this vintage have any right to sound so fearless and ferocious. Don’t miss them’.
