INTERNATIONALLY renowned guitarist, Remi Harris – who has appeared at The BBC Proms with Jamie Cullum and performed at Buckingham Palace – will be playing at Forest Arts Centre, New Milton tomorrow.

Remi’s unique style draws inspiration from gypsy swing, blues, rock, electronic and world music, he said: “I’m really looking forward to playing in Hampshire, I always love being able to take my music to new venues. The tour has been fantastic so far, and we’re hoping for another month of great shows.”

From the day Remi was born his mother of French origin chose the name Remi, inspired by the musical scale DO-RE-MI. His first album is called Ninick in memory of his mother.

Primarily self taught with the help of his Dad’s guitar magazines and records, Remi started playing at the age of 7, initially inspired by rock and blues guitarists of the 60s and 70s such as Jimi Hendrix, Peter Green and Jimmy Page. In his late teens he developed an interest in jazz music, in particular artists such as Django Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery and Stan Getz.

Since then he has an increasing following on social media around the world and a growing reputation for blending all of his influences into his own individual style of playing.

Concert goers will be treated to a spectacular night of virtuoso gypsy swing - with influences from jazz, blues, rock’n’ roll, funk and world music. Musically the show is a reflection of Remi’s artistic influences - with repertoire ranging from Django Reinhardt to Jimi Hendrix and all things in between, including The Beatles, Peter Green and new compositions from his anticipated third album.
