Light refreshments and bar available.
Reg Meuross is one of that rare breed a true English
troubadour, one of Britain’s most talented and widely
respected singer-songwriters. He was recently invited
to appear at the Royal Albert Hall for the Teenage
Cancer Trust’s annual benefit. His performance is
pure class. He brings to the stage a collection of
extremely beautiful songs, often informed by his own
experiences; sometimes just great stories expertly
told and linked by wry and witty observations, the
delivery of which is complimented by his excellent
and soulful high tenor voice and guitar playing and
the superbly talented Beth Porter on Cello.
Dragonfly is a performance of story songs from Reg’s
new CD of the same name and collected from tales gathered
whilst touring England on a recent Rural Touring Project.
There are songs dealing with the real Dick Turin;
the original ill-fated voyage of the Pilgrim Fathers;
the Shakers; the tragic story of the young men executed
in WW1 by their own men for “desertion” as well as
songs about Elvis; the artist Edward Hopper and Johnny
Ray.
Bethany Porter will be accompanying Reg on these concerts,
a brilliant, young cellist, singer and ukulele player.
