Bristol Evening Post, Tuesday, July 1st. 2003

A TEACHER at Bristol Cathedral School wowed pupils and parents with his passion for jazz and swing when he gave a solo performance. Modern languages teacher Mark Etherington showed off his musical talents at a special concert held at the school's Fortune Theatre. And he invited top trad jazz" band the Catte Street Rhythm Wreckers, from Wolverhampton, to headline the concert, called Swing and All That Jazz.

Mr Etherington is a former professional musician who toured in Europe and has played at famous venues, such as Bristol's Old Duke pub He said: "I really hope that this event will help raise the profile of jazz and swing in Bristol by bringing it to a new, younger audience." The evening's programme included music by jazz greats such as Duke Ellington and Sonny Rollins.
