Vimala Rowe, last seen at Hull Jazz Festival with John Etheridge in 2018, is one of the most distinctive voices on the UK jazz scene. Juliet Roberts is known to many as a house music diva, incredible jazz vocalist and a veteran of the early days of British soul. Together, they’re a vocal force to be reckoned with, as they pay tribute to two of the jazz world’s leading ladies.

A personal tribute by guitar legend Etheridge to his mentor and inspiration, Stéphane Grappelli, who he worked with for 5 years in the 70’s and early 80’s. Taking its cue from the Hot Club of France – the legendary group led by Grappelli and Django Reinhardt – the band features John’s dazzling guitar work and the scintillating violin of Chris Garrick. The relationship of these two, alongside Dave Kelbie (guitar) and Andy Crowdy (bass), has been described as one of the most potent in European jazz.

They are running a crowdfunder to help with the last few pennies, to put fuel in the van to get them up to Edinburgh, a roof over their heads and also to provide three captioned performances, to make the show more accessible. They have some really funky rewards up for grabs, and you can read about it here. Anything you can spare, and sharing on social media would go a really long way to helping us achieve our goal.
