“What an amazing, deep & vitally important piece of work you have made” Angeline Morrison
Reg Meuross presents his stunning song cycle Stolen From God, with the sparkling playing of kora master Suntou Susso and concertina wizard Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne.
The live show, which features a narration on the historical background to each song, was previewed during last year’s Black History Month. Featuring vocals from all three musicians, alongside incredible instrumentation, it received a tremendous reception at shows in Bristol, London and Manchester.
“Reg Meuross is the ideal song writer to unpick the South West’s complex Slavery story. A subject that needs his clear sighted way with words…single of the year” – Tim Martin, FATEA.
Reg Meuross’s belief that folk songs provide a rapid and accessible route into history and its current relevance stood him in good stead when it came to tackling the history of the transatlantic slave trade in story and song. He unearthed both incredible tales and uncomfortable truths – now brought fully to life with this enlightening live performance.
“A very Powerful album of songs….an Important piece of work“ Mike Norris – Classic Folk
“…one of the most important albums of the 21st century” Mike Davies – Alternative Roots
