MEN ON WIRE

This world class duo provides a feast of interplay, improvisation and eclectic repertoire with music ranging from Peter Gabriel to Richard Rogers 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, Bireli Lagrene, 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.

“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)
“Limitless imagination and mutual respect combined makes them one of the most exciting partnerships on the live circuit.” (Cardiff Post)
