Few guitarists in the world have the range and pedigree of John Etheridge. A true virtuoso, his career spans everything from his legendary work with Stéphane Grappelli and Soft Machine, to collaborations with Nigel Kennedy and John Williams. With effortless mastery and improvisational flair, Etheridge moves between jazz, fusion, blues and beyond – always with elegance and fire.

John is joined by the brilliantly soulful Denny Ilett, known for his blues-infused tone, inventive phrasing, and infectious swing. A frequent collaborator with the likes of Pee Wee Ellis and Lillian Boutté, Denny brings deep groove and joyous energy to every performance.

Together, they will explore a wide-ranging set of guitar-inspired jazz – from mellow and melodic to bold and fiery – supported by a first-class rhythm section with Sebastian de Krom, powerhouse drummer, and Andy Crowdy on double bass.

Gates open at 12.00pm midday, and the music will start at 2.00pm.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Oaken Grove Vineyard, this promises to be a delightful afternoon of live music, fine wine, and relaxed elegance. Enjoy a glass from Oaken Grove’s award-winning wine selection, a fully stocked bar, and delicious stone-baked pizza available to order on the day.
