Fire & Dust - The Woody Guthrie Story at The Roses Theatre
Thursday 17 September 2026
Reg Meuross brings his acclaimed project Fire & Dust: A Woody Guthrie Story to the stage with full band The Strike.
An exceptional ensemble featuring Geraint Watkins (keys/accordion), Phil Beer (guitars/mandolin), Marion Fleetwood (fiddle/vocals), Simon Edwards (bass), Roy Dodds (drums/percussion) and Reg Meuross himself on vocals and guitar.
Through a compelling blend of songs and spoken narration between pieces, Reg leads audiences through the life, legacy and radical spirit of Woody Guthrie - exploring themes of justice, resilience, migration, and hope, all as relevant today as when Woody was alive.
Produced by Pete Townshend and praised as “a stunning tribute from one great folk artist to another” (Morning Star) and “a joyful and outstanding project that deserves attention and plaudits” (Ralph McTell), Fire & Dust is a rich, immersive storytelling experience.
With world-class musicianship and a deeply human narrative, this is a powerful, uplifting and resonant evening of music from one of the UK’s most respected songwriters, brought vividly to life by a band of extraordinary players.
The Roses offers a wide variety of performances, including fantastic tribute acts and stage show musicals. A great night out at the theatre awaits at The Roses, Tewkesbury’s favourite entertainment venue.
