The Ignite cafe within the Royal Albert Hall. Last Friday lunchtime on the advice of a friend I went to a gig performed by the virtuoso guitarist John Etheridge.
I`m not normally a fan of solo guitar but this gentleman played a range within the style of Wes Montgomery to Django Reinhardt plus some ultra modern electronic guitar music which was amazing. Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, Round Midnight etc. Then in the style of Django, Minor Swing, Daphne and so on. All this interspersed with frivolous banter. What an hour and a half of sheer pleasure including a cup of good coffee. Well done R.A.H. Regds. N.
