THE BROMYARD-BASED guitar wizard, Remi Harris, is tuning up for a date with a local audience.

His show at Malvern comes to the end of a remarkable year for the sure-fingered, acclaimed virtuoso.

A spokesman said: "In 2016 Remi performed at the legendary Montreal Jazz Festival, played alongside Jamie Cullum at the BBC Proms and gained critical acclaim for his second album, “In On The 2”, not to mention countless sell out UK shows."

The spokesman added: "Concert goers can expect a night of virtuoso guitar based Gypsy Swing infused with influences from Jazz, Blues, Rock'n'Roll, Funk and World Music, with repertoire from Django Reinhardt, Peter Green, Wes Montgomery, Jimi Hendrix and Charlie Parker to name a few.

"Legendary jazz guitarist, Martin Taylor MBE recently said that Remi is one of the most exciting young guitarists in the Gypsy Jazz world."

Remi's latest album “In On The 2” has already received rave reviews from national publications.

Remi said: Last year was a big year for me, and I’m really looking forward to carrying the momentum through 2017 on tour."

Remi will perform at the West Malvern Social Club on Saturday, February 18, from 7pm.
