Event information

Somerset singer-songwriter Reg Meuross represents contemporary folk writing at its best, with that rare gift of being able to touch people through his songs and performance, on a really human level. His words and music paint pictures that remain with the listener long after the song has been sung.

This concert is part of the Reg Meuross Two Albums Tour, encompassing two album releases: Faraway People and Songs About A Train. These songs comment bravely on life as he sees it, bringing wide-ranging stories, from the ravages of austerity and the injustice of the plight of refugees to some of most beautifully disarming lyrics ever written. Reg is a true modern troubadour, as comfortable gigging in village halls and folk clubs as he is playing the Royal Albert Hall and huge festival stages. He consistently entrances his audiences with songs of life, love and injustice, soulfully delivered with melodic tenor vocals and exemplary guitar playing.

“Time and again, Reg proves himself one of the key songwriters of our age” David Kidman

Mick Tems Folk Wales ”...every song from the gentle, enchanting genius is worth its weight in gold.”

“There’s something special about the way he writes and delivers a song” Townes Van Zandt.

Support from London Singer/Songwriter/Musician Catty Pearson previewing her debut EP 'Time Tells Me'

Praised for her authentic song writing and compassionate lyrics Catty’s sound is honest and real. It takes the listener on a flowing internal journey; which speaks to the soul, from the soul. In the words of a faithful fan, “Her voice forms an oasis of serenity amidst the chaos of the world.”

‘Time Tells Me’ is a collection of songs, which reflects the confusion she feels towards the material world. In inquisition of what the material world represents, Catty’s music, lyrics and tone of voice is a beautiful and true mirror for us to all face.

Catty’s has her roots in folk, country and blues, she grew up listening to the sounds of Neil Young, Donovan, Cat Stevens, Norah Joans, Eva Cassidy, Joan Armastrading, Bob Dylan, David Grey, Eddie Vedder, Moby, Leonard Cohen etc.

"When you listen to Catty Pearson take a deep deep breath as her gracious soothing voice will take your blood pressure and heart beat to a new vista . Truly unspoilt, a breath of Mother Earth."
