Remi’s unique style draws inspiration from gipsy swing, blues, rock, electronic and world music. He has toured worldwide as well as recently performing on the Chris Evans breakfast show with Jamie Cullum, Montreal Jazz Festival, on BBC 4 Television and live on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 3.

Remi, 30, who was born in Herefordshire said, “I’m really looking forward to performing in Shrewsbury, it’s an inspiring part of the world and I always receive a warm welcome in this town. We’ve been working on new material and we’re excited to be on the road again touring and travelling through Shropshire.”

Concert goers will be treated to a night of virtuoso Gipsy 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, and Neil Young, and new compositions from his anticipated third album.
