Reg Meuross and The Strike trio at Norden Farm - Fire & Dust a Woody Gu

Featuring The Strike (trio)
Commissioned and produced by Pete Townshend and created by award-winning singer-songwriter Reg Meuross, Fire & Dust: a Woody Guthrie Story has fast become one of the most powerful and acclaimed folk productions on today’s circuit. Townshend describes it as ´folk music at its best´, praising Reg’s ´terrific songs´ which tell Guthrie’s life story ´with respect, affection and truth´.

For this gig Reg is joined by two members of his touring band The Strike - a name inspired by the collective action and human resilience at the heart of Guthrie’s work. The Strike features Welsh pianist/accordionist Geraint Watkins (Nick Lowe, Van Morrison, Paul McCartney, Mark Knopfler) and renowned multi-instrumentalist Marion Fleetwood (TRADarrr, IOTA, The Sandy Denny Project).

Through songs and narrative, Fire & Dust traces Guthrie’s fight against racism, corruption and inequality, drawing poignant parallels with the world we face today. The performance blends Reg’s masterful songwriting with Guthrie’s enduring legacy: intimate, politically resonant, and deeply moving.

An unforgettable evening of music, storytelling and social history.
