Ok everyone here is the last concert of our Winter season. The Christian Garrick Quartet . Quite a few of you will be familiar with Christian as the front man of The Budapest Cafe Orchestra and his sublime playing on the violin. He is joined by one of the UK's jazz guitar greats - John Etheridge . John has been a long time member of the Jazz fusion band "Soft Machine" and has collaborated with so many people and was Stephane Grappelli's guitarist for several years. Chris and John will be joined by Jezz Cook on guitar and Andy Crowdy on Double bass to make up the quartet.
This wonderful swinging show not only evokes the tradition of the great Hot Club Of France, featuring such favourites such as Sweet Georgia Brown, I Found A New Baby and Nuages, but it also detours into the more adventurous territories of Hendrix, Peter Gabriel and even Dollar Brand
This will be a wonderful way to round up the season.
