The breadth and depth of his material is unparalleled in contemporary folk: songs about forgotten heroes\, famous names\, folk legends\, the climate emergency\, tales from the kitchen sink and news from the world stage.\nSomeone said: ‘If something needs to be sung about then Reg Meuross has a song for it!’ And this proved to be the case when Reg performed here in February 2020 with a especially composed song about Westonzoyland. Challenged by a resident in 2010 to write a song about the village\, the composition became a moving tribute to the many who fought and died in the Battle of Weston in 1685\, and travesty of justice that followed.\nMeuross has the gift of being able to touch people through his songs and performance\, painting pictures that remain with the listener long after the song has been sung.\n“I’m happy to be returning to sing in this beautiful church\, to a wonderful audience and community\,” says Reg. \nAs usual\, the concert will take place in in St Mary’s Church\, Main Road\, Westonzoyland\, TA7 0EP. Starting at 3 pm with refreshments served from 2.15 pm. \nThere is no need to book but please note seats are available on a first come\, first served basis.\nIn order to help with the artists’ and other costs we hold a raffle. In addition\, we welcome donations.
