WEST Country folk singer-songwriter and story-teller Reg Meuross has two dates with Dorset’s rural arts chart Artsreach, as part of a tour with the West African musician Suntou Susso, performing a powerful show called Stolen from God. They will be at Cerne Abbas village hall on Tuesday 22nd October and Langton Matravers village hall on Wednesday 23rd.

Stolen from God is an investigation of the history of England’s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. In it, Reg Meuross unearths incredible tales and uncomfortable truths of a history which needs to be told.

Featuring the enchanting and virtuoso playing of kora master Suntou Susso, these stories are brought to life in a stunning folk music cycle of moving and thought-provoking songs alongside narration on the background to each piece.

Much later in the year, Reg Meuross will be playing at Crewkerne Town Hall with Phil Beer on 20th December.
