John Etheridge & The Spin Band

Thursday 27th July 2023

The Spin is totally delighted to be welcoming back to the club, it’s all-time No.1 guest, the flamboyantly wicked guitarist, John Etheridge!

Etheridge has been at the forefront of the guitar-related music scene for an impressive amount of time. Not only is John a leading jazz player, he is recognised internationally for his stylistically varied work, having toured the world with such diverse major acts as Stephane Grapelli, Soft Machine, Andy Summers and Nigel Kennedy. His fiery, virtuosic playing - combined with a musicianship that sees him equally comfortably partnered with classical guitar maestro, John Williams and veteran prog rock stars, Soft Machine - has drawn glowing plaudits from the likes of Pat Metheny and Sting:

“One of the best guitarists in the world” (Metheny)

“I only wanted to be a proper musician, like John Etheridge” (Sting).

John was the very first guest to perform at The Spin, back in May 1999. Since then, he has appeared regularly at the club (to sell-out audiences) and he has never failed to woo and wow those that have attended with his infectious, fiery fare; this gig promises to be no exception!
