Award-winning Reg Meuross was introduced onto the stage of the Albert Hall by Mike Harding as ‘one of this country’s finest’ and is a true modern troubadour, representing contemporary English folk writing at its best. Captivating audiences with his beautiful tenor voice, and with breadth and depth of material that is unparalleled, Reg has toured extensively for decades across the UK, Europe, North America and the Antipodes.

Reg accompanies his songs on a ‘44 Martin six-string guitar, harmonica, tenor guitar, banjo and dulcimer. Witnessing a Reg Meuross performance is to experience a journey into the heart, soul and songs of one of England’s most celebrated writers. Stories that need to be told; struggles that need to be known; injustice that needs to be uncovered; social conscience that needs to be celebrated – his music has an unrivalled power to reach and move the listener. His songs are ‘classic, with echoes of early Dylan, Tom Paxton and Leonard Cohen’ – The Guardian. Youtube: here

Folking.com Soloist of the Year 2019, Reg Meuross is a fabulous singer-songwriter. The breadth and depth of his material is unparalleled in contemporary folk, with songs about forgotten heroes, famous names, folk legends, the climate emergency, tales from the kitchen sink and news from the world stage.  If something needs to be sung about then Reg Meuross has a song for it.

Mark Radcliffe introduced Reg Meuross on the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show as a ‘brilliant singer-songwriter and true troubadour with a social conscience’. As well as story songs that bring characters from history to life and comment on life around him, Reg also writes some of the most heart-aching love songs. ‘An insight into the human spirit and empathy with the plight of ordinary people.’ FRoots Magazine.

After the collaboration of his 12 Silk Handkerchiefs project, Reg’s new album RAW sees him return to the solo performance style that audiences across the land are so familiar with. Accompanying himself on his ’44 Martin six-string guitar, a tenor guitar, banjo, dulcimer and harmonica, RAW is the sound of one man and his songs.

Jez Lowe has long been one of the UK’s busiest folk performers, playing for audiences the world over, either solo, (with guitar, cittern and harmonica accompaniment), or with his band The Bad Pennies. His Men At Words tour of North America saw Jez joining forces with James Keelaghan and Archie Fisher for much-acclaimed concerts across Canada and the USA. And as part of The Pitmen Poets (with Bob Fox, Benny Graham and Billy Mitchell), Jez has helped to rekindle the fire in the tradition of mining songs and culture of his native region in a series of sell out theatre performances around the UK.

Over the last couple of decades, the likes of Fairport Convention, The Dubliners, The Unthanks, Wizz Jones, The McCalmans, Mary Black, The Duhks, Bob Fox, The Young Uns, Enda Kenny, Cherish The Ladies, Tom McConville, The Clancys and scores more, have queued up to adopt his songs for their own repertoires. No wonder no less than Richard Thompson has called him, ‘The best singer songwriter to come out of the UK for a long time’.

Our events start at 8 pm. Tickets are now SOLD OUT. Bring your own drinks. Teas and coffee available in the kitchen.
