SUMMARY:The Remi Harris Hot Club Trio
DESCRIPTION:The Remi Harris Hot Club Trio – on tour across the UK in 2025 \n  \nOne of the UK’s most exciting guitarists\, Remi Harris is joined by double bassist Tom Moore and rhythm guitarist Chris Nesbitt to present an enthralling evening of Gypsy Jazz and Blues. Combining musical virtuosity with passion and flair\, this dynamic trio deliver a mesmerising show inspired by Django Reinhardt\, Peter Green\, Wes Montgomery\, Jimi Hendrix and Joe Pass. \n  \nSince the age of seven\, Remi has dedicated himself to a life of guitar. His playing has taken him from busking on the streets of his local towns to performing at many prestigious events and venues including Buckingham Palace\, Montreal Jazz Festival\, BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall with Jamie Cullum\, and on national radio and television. \n  \nRemi has been performing with Tom Moore for over ten years\, during which time they have developed a remarkable musical affinity. Since graduating from The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire in 2011 where he is currently based\, Tom has performed around the UK with a variety of bands and musical projects. Starting at a young age on guitar and quickly moving to bass\, he has appeared at high profile venues including the Royal Albert Hall and The North Sea Jazz Festival\, and more recently supporting Jools Holland.  \n  \nChris Nesbitt is a jazz and blues guitarist and teacher from Northern Ireland\, currently based in the South West. Since graduating from Bath Spa University – where he now lectures – Chris has performed with various groups across the UK\, playing gypsy jazz\, blues\, rock and RnB.  \n  \nIn 2025 Remi will also be touring with his blues rock project Man of the World: the Music of Peter Green\, performing at venues selling out months in advance. He has recently released his third book Gypsy Jazz Soloing Etudes\, a follow-up to his previous book 100 Gypsy Jazz Guitar Licks\, which made it into the Top 10 in the Amazon Charts\, as well as working on a keenly anticipated new album. \n  \nRemi’s unique style continues to win him fans from around the world and he has an enthusiastic following on social media that is growing exponentially. His output has also been attracting attention from increasingly renowned quarters\, receiving rave reviews from the likes of Dr Martin Taylor MBE who recently said\, ‘Remi is a phenomenal player specialising in both gypsy jazz\, and blues guitar. He’s a true master of both genres’. With a formidable technique and a genuine passion for the guitar\, the ease and warmth of Remi’s stage presence\, together with his virtuoso talent\, will have concert goers captivated.

SUMMARY:HOWLIN MAT
DESCRIPTION:Howlin’ Mat is a BLUES musician who has performed everywhere from the Arctic Circle to\nthe Sahara Desert. He performs up to 200 shows a year and his escapades include him\nopening for the Happy Mondays\, spending an evening with Led Zeppelin legend John Paul\nJones on an Island 130 miles inside the Arctic Circle in the middle of winter and having a\nbirthday party being thrown by a notorious biker gang.\nArmed with his guitars and a slide on his finger\, Mat follows in the footsteps of his musical\nheroes such as Mississippi Fred McDowell and Muddy Waters and onstage he combines\nhis musical talents with hilarious tales of his time on the road.\nThe blues has made a deep and everlasting impression on Mat’s life.\nMat recalled: “Elmore James – Dust My Broom was the first blues track I heard. I had\nnever heard anything like it in my life – the hairs on my arms stood up and I was hooked.”\nIn addition to his admiration for other blues legends such as John Lee Hooker and Hound\nDog Taylor\, Mat’s style is as much developed from the trance-like style of Mississippi Hill\nCountry players – particularly R L Burnside. He added: “As I have grown older\, hypnotic\nrhythms have taken precedence over flashy guitar playing. The music of the North\nMississippi Hill Country is the coolest of all the blues forms and R. L is the daddy of it all.”\nVery early on in his professional career\, Mat was introduced to the Cigar Box guitar. It was\nlove at first sight and has now become a staple of all his shows. And he is proud to be\nacknowledged as one of the UK’s foremost performers of this amazing instrument.\nMat’s been touring for 17 years now. His great guitar playing and singing combined with\nhis sense of humour and storytelling make his shows a unique experience that truly\nentertains audiences worldwide.
