In Good Company :   Remi Harris Trio Q&A Hello, what’s your name and what’s your role in Remi Harris Trio? What does that role involve on the road? My name is Remi and I’m a guitarist in the Remi Harris Trio. Your music has been described as a mix of “Gypsy Swing, Jazz and Blues.” Who or what would you say inspires the type of music you create? I’m inspired by lots of different music genres but some of my biggest influences would be Django Reinhardt, Jimi Hendrix, Peter Green, Wes Montgomery, Led Zeppelin and Stan Getz. Have you got a particular piece of music that is played during the show that’s your favourite? What’s the story behind it? I don’t really have a favourite, I guess it depends what mood I’m in. It’s often the tune that I have played the least at that particular time as it will feel more fresh than the tunes that we're playing more often. Of all the work you’ve done (not exclusively in rural touring) what’s been your favourite show to date? Agai

Written by Becky Prestwich the show incorporated immersive theatre with a heart-warming tale about losing love and then finding it again. We got the chance to go along to the show to experience it for ourselves and meet our Hart ON Tour promoter, Emma Stanworth. As we entered the village hall the atmosphere was already buzzing and there seemed to be a lot of excitement in the air. The entire venue had been transformed into a Fish and Chip Shop. Tables with red checkered cloths and salt and vinegar a-plenty, were spread out around the hall, allowing the audience to come together and have a natter before the show kicked off. As the play began, whilst we munched away on our Fis
