Next month sees an award-winning singer/song-writer cross the Solent to perform an intimate gig in Ventnor.
Reg Meuross has been described as “a warm, engaging live entertainer” with echoes of Dylan, Tom Paxton and Leonard Cohen.
He captivates audiences with his beautiful tenor voice, winning Best Male Vocalist 2013 Fatea, and FolkWords Best Album 2014 for England Green & England Grey.
He’s well-known for the extraordinary intimacy of his live solo performances, and you can have a taste of that on 10th December at the wonderful St Catherine’s Church.
