John Etheridge
We’re excited to present a special evening of music at this new venue. 67Sourdough is a terrific pizza restaurant, using their own special 48-hour wild-fermented dough to craft really delicious pizzas, which have been carefully tested and approved by Just East of Jazz partners Rick & Jeremy (who have the very highest standards!)

“...a master guitarist...brilliant” The Observer
John Etheridge rightly enjoys a glowing reputation throughout the jazz world and beyond and has been described by Pat Metheny as, “One of the best guitarists in the world”. He is a prodigiously gifted and creative player whose approach to music can only be described as ‘eclectic’ as he refuses to accommodate or even acknowledge artificial musical boundaries. His range is well illustrated by his years of touring and recording with the iconic Stephane Grappelli while simultaneously doing likewise with the legendary jazz-fusion group, The Soft Machine.
John is equally at home on acoustic and electric guitar and his willingness to engage with so many styles is matched by his ability to excel in any of them. He has played with John Williams, Yehudi Menuhin, Dizzie Gillespie, Herb Ellis, Mundell Lowe, Nigel Kennedy, Pat Metheny, Birelli Lagrene, Barney Kessel, Vic Juris and countless others. John’s ability as an outstanding composer is sometimes overlooked but he is often under pressure from audiences to feature more of his own material.
“Etheridge....gifted...spectacular” The Times
67Sourdough is located within The Engine Rooms – the venue boasts an impressive collection of classic and exotic cars, which adds to the contemporary and modern feel of the space.
We hope you’ll join us for this one-off pilot gig and give us your expert opinion on the venue, location and food & drink.
