THE SPIN 20TH BIRTHDAY PARTY W/ John Etheridge...and special guest Keith Fairbairn (percussion)
Thursday 30th May 2019
The Spin celebrates 20 years of bringing jazz to Oxford, and we hope you will join us for a special night. The great John Etheridge brings his phenomenal guitar playing skills to help us celebrate - John remains one of the iconic heroes of British jazz, working with everyone from Stephane Grapelli to Soft Machine, via John Williams (classical guitar hero) and Andy Summers (guitar hero in the Police). John was not so long ago described by Metheny as one of the greatest guitar players in the world...amen to that. We are also delighted to be joined by the awesome Keith Fairbairn on percussion to add his own particular magic to proceedings; one of the finest percussionists in the UK over many years, it is great to have him join us for the birthday proceedings.
To make things go with a bang, there will be unhealthy amounts of snacky type things on tables, large quantities of Prosecco at unfeasible prices by the bottle or glass, and the odd balloon.
Thanks to all of you who have made the last 20 years, 860 Thursday nights, 103,200 minutes so memorable for Pete, Raf and Mark. A privilege to play for you all over these two decades.
