Reg Meuross

Pleasance Cabaret Bar, 60 The Pleasance, Edinburgh EH8 9TJ

Reg Meuross first emerged onto the acoustic music scene in the 1980s with The Panic Brothers and has developed a style that as Pete Townshend says allows the listener to embrace the whole breadth of his work over many years without distraction.

He sings in the neutral accent of an Englishman who travels the entirety of the British Isles, and tastes all its flavours, influenced by all its most profound national colours. In this he reminds one of Roy Harper or Ewan McColl.

In 2012 Reg was invited by Abbey Road to record an album in their world famous studios and he took this opportunity to respond to the many requests for him to make a CD that reflects the warmth and intimacy of his live shows. The album, Leaves and Feathers, did just that and is a collection of 12 beautiful songs stripped down to the bare bones, and received 5* reviews.

Reg continued this with his next album, England Green and England Grey, with songs like Counting My Footsteps To You, a deeply moving commentary on dementia, along with other difficult topics. The album commemorated the centenary of WW1 with an unromanticised account of the story of Flora Sandes (the only woman officially to fight in WW1); The album was awarded Best Of 2014 by FolkWords.

In 2016 Reg released the album, December, containing 10 beautiful songs. Many fans know Reg for the extraordinary intimacy of his live solo performances
