Five years of successful touring and TV work followed, with appearances at Edinburgh, Glastonbury, Sidmouth and all the major British Festivals.Reg then went on to form The Flamingos who featured ex Graham Parker guitarist Martin Belmont, Bob Loveday from The Penguin Cafe Orchestra & Bob Geldof's Band & Alison Jones of The Barely Works. They recorded one album called "Arrested". In recent years Reg has been a crucial member of Hank Wangford's band, The Lost Cowboys.In 1996 he released the critically acclaimed CD "The Goodbye Hat" and was nominated for several music awards, including best song for 'Ring around the Roses.' This was followed up in 2004 with the album that really established Reg as one of Britain's finest singer songwriters (Time Out), "Short Stories".Reg's writing, performing and acting credits include work with people as diverse as the famous French Composer Vladimir Cosma - who wrote the cult movie Diva; Gerard Depardieu; Marsha Malamet; Nick Lowe; Not The Nine O'Clock News; Robbie Coltrane; Chris Difford; Charlie Dore; Gary Clark; Antonia Bird; Lenny Henry; Jeremy Hardy; Paul Merton, etc. "Still" is Reg's most accomplished work so far.JOIN REG'S MAILING LIST by sending a blank email titled "Mailing List" to [email protected] .QUOTES:
