Reg Meuross

Award-winning songwriter Reg Meuross, introduced at the Royal Albert Hall by Mike Harding as “one of this country’s finest”, is a true modern troubadour and one of the most respected voices in contemporary English folk. With a beautiful tenor voice and a catalogue of songs that span compassion, social justice, history and humanity, he has captivated audiences for decades across the UK, Europe, North America and the Antipodes. A Reg Meuross concert is a masterclass in musical storytelling. Accompanying himself on his vintage 1944 Martin six-string guitar, harmonica, tenor guitar, banjo and dulcimer, he draws listeners into the heart and soul of his songs: stories that need telling, lives that need honouring, truths that need unearthing. Across 17 critically acclaimed albums, Reg continues to prove how highly relevant his songs are, whilst reaching new audiences with consistently spellbinding performances. Reg’s solo sets include songs from his extensive back catalogue alongside latest release Fire and Dust, the narrated song-cycle commissioned by Pete Townshend, which explores the life of Woody Guthrie and shines a light on racism, corruption and inequality. “When you have 2000 people singing along, you’re doing something right.” - Great British Folk Festival “There’s something special about the way he writes and delivers a song” - Townes Van Zandt ‘assured a place in the pantheon of great folk songwriters’ – The Living Tradition ‘classic, with echoes of early Dylan, Tom Paxton and Leonard Cohen’ – The Guardian “Reg’s terrific songs tell Woody’s life story with respect and affection, but also truth.” Pete Townshend
