Reg Meuross with special guest Phil Beer

One of Britain’s finest singer songwriters and one of our most talented multi-instrumentalists come together for a rare series of concerts. They’ll be playing songs selected from Reg’s repertoire, particularly material from his new CD Dragonfly (release date June 2008); a collection of modern folk songs written around stories gathered from three years of rural touring in England. Plus tunes from Phil’s extensive repertoire, honed in his own band and with Show Of Hands.“Reg is one of our song-writing wizards.... we’re reminded of the lure of truly ace writing and singing. A mere sidestep away from major recognition.” MusicianReg has released five solo albums to date featuring the cream of British folk/acoustic & country musicians. On Dragonfly, he’s enlisted the talents of Jackie Oates, Barney Morse-Brown, John “Rabbit” Bundrick, Simon Edwards, Tim Harries and Roy Dodds. 14 beautiful, moving and uplifting new songs covering diverse stories like that of the real Dick Turpin: Lizzie Loved a Highwayman;  the tragedy of two young lovers from Bowes:  Martha Went Down to The Well and the story of Private Harry Farr, the first WWI Soldier executed for “desertion” to receive a pardon; And Jesus Wept. Reg also works in a duo with Jackie Oates and still tours occasionally with Hank Wangford.
