Reg Meuross and The Strike 'Fire and Dust' at Sidmouth Folk Festival

Commissioned by Pete Townshend and created by Reg Meuross, Fire & Dust – The Woody Guthrie Story is a journey into the heart and soul of one of America’s finest folk musicians. Highlighting racism, bigotry, corruption and inequality this incredible new song-cycle is focused on the life and times of the ‘Dust Bowl’ American folk musician and political activist Woody Guthrie – whose work remains so influential today. Drawing important parallels between Guthrie’s time and our own, each song shows Meuross at his absolute best – sharing stories from social history that are still highly relevant today. Reg is joined by Welsh pianist and accordionist Geraint Watkins, as well as renowned string player Marion Fleetwood and by Phil Beer.
