Meuross marvel

On Friday, 13th July, avoid the bad luck and tune into the dulcet tones of Reg Meuross at Holywell Music Rooms in Oxford.

Reg Meuross’ booking on the Holywell Music & Folk stage has had Round & About magazine’s Twitter feed aflutter thanks to fans near and far.

Geoff Smith, the inspirational promoter behind Holywell Music & Folk in Oxford, has bagged this exclusive for his live music series which has already included Teddy Thompson and exciting local band Xogara.

Somerset singer-songwriter Reg is known as a troubadour with a social conscience. He has chosen Holywell Music Rooms for the launch of his eponymous new album which he was invited to record in Germany by cutting-edge studios Stockfisch Records last year.

This album is a retrospective of 12 Meuross favourites, with fresh arrangements and production by Gunter Pauler. Reg will sing these 12 songs of love, death, politics and social commentary.

Reg, who is a patron artist of Holywell Music & Folk says: “Holywell is a very special venue. My own connection goes back to 2010 when I was invited to play here by the late Stephen Jordan, then head librarian of the Bodleian Music Library after he’d commissioned a collection of unreleased songs from me. This live series is a fantastic initiative by Holywell Music & Folk and I’m proud to be a patron artist and to support it every way I can – that’s why I chose the venue for my album launch.”

Doors open at 7pm, with support from Edd Donovan. Tickets £12.50 from WeGotTickets + £1.25 booking or £15 on the door or from Truck Store. Some CDs for sale at the gig. Visit www.holywellmusicandfolk.co.uk and www.regmeuross.com
