Reg Meuross returns to the John Peel Centre, Stowmarket

We sent ‘December’ to Matthew Abercrombie of the John Peel Centre and he said “that is just delightful and will only reach true perfection when it’s played on that guitar, on our stage in Stowmarket.”

So that is how it comes to be that Reg Meuross returns to the stage of the John Peel Centre with songs from latest album ‘December’, as well as some old favourites plus some fresh off the Meuross press.

“…sounds like a forgotten, American 60s classic with echoes of Dylan, Tom Paxton & Leonard Cohen” Robin Denselow, The Guardian

Reg will be supported by local singer songwriter George Haworth, who was spotted at a a college gig at the centre and is now making his way in the Suffolk music scene. Matthew says: “Following the John Peel ethos, we’re delighted to have him back on our stage supporting an artist of Reg’s calibre and standing.”

Reg Meuross was introduced by Mike Harding onto the stage of the Albert Hall as one of this country’s “finest singer songwriters”, and now brings new album December’ to the stage of the John Peel Centre.

In the mid-1980s Reg Meuross formed the Panic Brothers with Richard Morton, mixing Americana with humour and slick harmonies. Then came the Flamingos, Hank Wangford, and now 11 solo albums have established his songs as ‘the hinges upon which swing the doors of perceptive English folk’ (Folkwords).

Reg is a true modern day troubadour, commenting on life as he sees it, with some of the most beautifully disarming songs and lyrics ever written, bringing wide ranging stories from the ghosts of WW1 soldiers to the ravages of dementia and some of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Reg has 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.
