MUSIC on the Levels has announced its next concert event.
The free concert will be held in St Mary's Church, Westonzoyland, on September 29 and will see the return of popular English singer-songwriter Reg Meuross.
The concert will begin at 3pm and refreshments will be served from 2.15pm.
Reg Meuross is a familiar face at Music on the Levels, making his fourth appearance.
He is set to bring new songs from his forthcoming song cycle about Woody Guthrie - Fire and Dust - and his recent release, Stolen From God.
Mr Meuross said: "I’m happy to be returning to sing in this beautiful church, to a wonderful audience and community."
Folk troubadour Mr Meuross has been awarded multiple accolades for his songs and albums.
He draws the attention of music critics who can see influences from folk legends Tom Paxton, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen in his work.
His repertoire covers a wide range of contemporary folk topics, from tales from the world stage and the climate emergency, to folk heroes and kitchen sink stories.
Such is Mr Meuross’s prowess, someone even said: "If something needs to be sung about then Reg Meuross has a song for it."
This was proven true when he was challenged to write a song about Westonzoyland in 2010 and came up with a moving tribute to the Battle of Weston in 1685 and the subsequent injustice.
To experience a Reg Meuross concert is to embark on a journey into the heart of one of England's finest songwriting talents.
Critics and experts, including David Kidman of The Living Tradition, have placed Mr Meuross in the pantheon of great folk songwriters, alongside early Dylan, Tom Paxton and Leonard Cohen.
His unique performances involve self-accompanying on his 44 Martin six-string guitar, harmonica, tenor guitar, banjo and dulcimer.
There is no need to book for the concert as the church has never reached full capacity.
However, seats are available on a first come, first served basis.
Mr Meuross encourages donations and holds a raffle to compensate for concert costs, which exceed £400.
