Reg Meuross
2020-03-01 19:30 - 22:30 | Sportsmans Arms, Four Lanes, Redruth, Cornwall, TR16 6LR, United Kingdom
Reg’s clever and imaginative lyrics have earned him the title of “Master Storyteller” (PennyBlack Music) and led Mike Harding (Mike Harding Folk Show) to introduce him onto the stage of The Royal Albert Hall as “one of the finest singer-songwriters this country has produced”. Whether it’s a village hall or the Albert Hall, Reg brings to the stage a collection of extremely beautiful songs, performed with humour and depth, and sung with the voice of an angel. 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.

The folk duo, made up of Kip Winter and Dave Wilson, are renowned for being hard working musicians who excel out on the road. The forced time away from touring and live music though, has allowed them to excel in their songwriting and in the studio too.
Kip’s vocals especially have a rawness to them, as together they deliver a record full of character. The stand-out track is ‘What Would Johnny Cash Do Now?’ Sonically it’s a bit of a departure from the rest of the record, the up-tempo track is full of energy and charisma, a lovely nod to the legend. In contrast, ‘Pity Me’ a typical folk tune, is stripped back and sombre showcasing the versatility of the record. The pair’s voices together create a unique but pleasing texture.
The conclusion comes in the form of ‘Once More for the Old Times’ which is a beautifully written track, played on an acoustic guitar, Wilson takes the lead as he sings in a heartfelt tone, creating a picture in the listeners mind. A lovely end to a lovely record.

Our Atlantic Roots £5
2022-05-15 19:30 - 22:30 | The Victoria Inn, Four Lanes, Redruth. TR 16 6PZ, 1 The Square, Four Lanes nr. Redruth TR16 6PZ
Cornwall based indie duo, Our Atlantic Roots (Mac and Laura Johnston) bring an uplifting blend of American & British alt-folk, with harmonies that are rich, dynamic and unite beautifully. Their sound isn’t something you could squeeze into one genre ‘box’; certain songs have a clear connection with the country/bluegrass sound, whereas others are delicately stripped back; acoustic alt-folk style tracks.

The husband/wife duo met in Asheboro, North Carolina in August 2012. Just a few weeks after meeting, Mac and Laura discovered each others love of music and songwriting and sat down to write their first song together and straight away people commented on the way their voices and styles complimented each other and to this day, that is something that the duo are constantly praised for – if you love solid vocal harmonies, you’ll love Our Atlantic Roots.
