John Etheridge

John Etheridge comes to the Crazy Coqs with his much lauded solo show. Employing an arsenal of guitars and playing music spanning the decades and the continents, this is one of the most eclectic and all-embracing guitar extravaganzas. From Django Reinhardt to Jimi Hendrix, the repertoire reflects the career of a man who has been associated with acts as varied as Stephane Grappelli, Soft Machine, John Williams, Nigel Kennedy, Hawkwind, Caravan. All this is delivered with humour and panache, with an appeal that goes far beyond the guitar market.

“There’s never a moment’s doubt about his awesome authority whenever he touches a guitar” – John Fordham, The Guardian

“I never wanted to be a star, just a highly respected musician like John Etheridge” – Sting, The Guardian
