Stolen From God: Truth, Music, and Untold Histories by Reg Meuross
Reg Meuross with Suntou Susso, & Narrator Karen Gledhill
Stolen From God is a powerful and deeply researched song cycle by acclaimed songwriter Reg Meuross, exploring England’s role in the transatlantic trade in enslaved people. Through original songs and moving narration written by Meuross and spoken live by Karen Gledhill, the performance brings to light overlooked history and uncomfortable truths.
Reg is joined on stage by two exceptional musicians: Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne (concertina, vocals) and Suntou Susso (kora, percussion, vocals). Together, they blend English folk and West African traditions in a compelling and emotionally rich musical experience.
Stolen From God invites reflection on a past too often hidden, offering truth, beauty, and connection in equal measure.
