Lunch with Gentleman Reg

Gentleman Reg (the band) ironically consisted of two ladies (keys/backing vocals, drums) and a guy on the guitar, plus of course Reg himself on vocals and guitar. I found the music was more rock than the indie-folk I expected, which was fine for the most part. However when they did slow things down to a more stripped-down sound (instrument-wise) it seemed that Reg's excellent voice could take more of the centre-stage and showcase it's delicate side that was sometimes lost amid the music. An enjoyable though not life-altering 45 minute set with notable banter from former UoG student Reg, "I dropped out of school and look what I've become. If you want to be like me, drop out now!"
