# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Men on Wire: John Etheridge and Christian Garrick
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 26 Aug, 2025 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: A free-wheeling pair creating exotic tapestries of sound.

Christian Garrick (violin) and John Etheridge (guitar) are a world class duo providing a feast of interplay, improvisation and eclectic repertoire with music ranging from Peter Gabriel to Richard Rodgers via Dollar Brand and Alison Goldfrapp.

British guitar legend John Etheridge (Soft Machine, Stephane Grappelli, Dizzy Gillespie, John Williams, Nigel Kennedy) and virtuoso violinist Christian Garrick (Van Morrison, Cleo Laine, Wynton Marsalis, Biréli Lagrène, Budapest Café Orchestra) have been associated for many years starting with the Grappelli/Reinhardt-based Sweet Chorus project and in duo format.

The free-wheeling pair use extensive looping and effects, creating exotic tapestries of sound, almost orchestral at times, yet switch seamlessly to a pure acoustic sound with rollicking renditions of Hot Club swing evoking the spirit of Reinhardt and Grappelli themselves.

"Quite how Garrick and Etheridge create such an astonishing range of sounds from the basic format of violin/guitar duo remains a mystery. The result, however, is a feast for the ears and a set full of subtlety, sparkle and surprise." Ronnie Scott’s, London

"Atmospheric, hypnotic, humorous and entertaining. They can roar, seduce and whisper" Time Out

"One of the most potent relationships in European Jazz" Guardian

"Superb interplay – gorgeous stuff" The Times
