Guitarist Remi Harris has been receiving rave reviews for over a decade, since emerging from the seething jazz hotspots of Herefordshire. Blessed as he is with a formidable technique and a genuine love of the music, his star is firmly in the ascendant.
‘An extraordinary musician’ (Jamie Cullum), Remi is a virtuoso whose unique style draws inspiration from artists such as Django Reinhardt, Jimi Hendrix, Wes Montgomery – one of the most influential American jazz guitarists of the twentieth century – Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) and Led Zeppelin, and from blues specialists Stevie Ray Vaughan and Freddie King.
Remi 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, Tom has performed around the UK and has appeared at prestigious venues including the Royal Albert Hall and The North Sea Jazz Festival, and more recently supporting Jools Holland.
This duo setting showcases an eclectic mix of gypsy swing, jazz, blues, rock, flamenco and world music; jazz standards, improvisations, original compositions and new arrangements of his favourite tunes.
In a class of their own, ‘one of the UK’s most staggering and influential acoustic guitarists’ (Roots Magazine) in concert with the ‘doyenne of Irish harpers’ (Scotland On Sunday) take to the stage with a spellbinding treat for the audience.
A breath-taking blend of traditional Irish and Scottish music, swing jazz, bluegrass and baroque, as well as festive favourites given a fresh voice with moving and beautiful arrangements, this very special concert charms from the first few magical chords.
The celebrated virtuoso partnership of Máire Ní Chathasaigh and Chris Newman has by now brought its special musical vision to venues large and small – from the tiniest of historic churches in England, Germany and Italy to palaces in Kyoto and Istanbul, London’s Barbican, Sydney Town Hall and the Philharmonie in Cologne – in twenty-two countries on five continents. Their performances are rooted but eclectic, emotional but adventurous: a blend of traditional Irish music, hot jazz, bluegrass and baroque, coupled with striking new compositions and a delightfully subversive wit.
‘Brilliant, innovative harping and guitar-playing of astonishing virtuosity and versatility.’ Songlines Magazine ★★★★
‘Music of fire and brilliance from the high-wire act in traditional music. Their virtuosity leads them on… Máire chomps on the bit of the harp’s respectability, playing storming jigs and reels. So moving – technical brilliance and beauty that brings tears to the eyes.’ Irish Times ★★★★
Billy Fury is widely regarded as the UK’s answer to Elvis Presley and one of the few ‘authentic’ Rock’n’Roll artists that the country has produced.
With James Dean iconic good looks and a fantastic voice which could adapt between raspy rocker to big balladeer, Billy Fury had it all…apart from his poor health, a weak heart making him a ticking time bomb with his belief that he would be dead by the age of 21.
A talented songwriter, Fury was the UK’s first artist to entirely write all of the songs for his debut album, the now legendary The Sound Of Fury before moving into big ballads and huge success throughout the 1960’s gaining more weeks in the UK top ten than even the mighty Beatles.
Gavin Stanley narrates & performs Billy Fury in Sound and Vision and tells his astounding story through exclusive film footage from the hit BBC documentary ‘The Sound of Fury’ with celebrity interviews from Imelda May, Len Goodman, Mark Kermode, Joe Brown and more with live music from West End performer Gavin Stanley who has played Fury on numerous occasions in major theatre shows and radio plays.
So, immerse yourself into the truly wonderful world of this truly incredible UK icon.
Enjoy an evening of Fury.
