REG member Jon Mason is performing his spoken word and song performance piece “Promised Land – The Myths of Rock & Roll”, which reimagines various rock stats from the last 70 years as gods from myth and legend, at The Ropetackle Centre, Shoreham on Monday 10th March.
There is a zine that accompanies this performance, which depicts the mythological versions of such stars as Elvis and Bruce Springsteen (illustrated by Simon Russell), available to buy on the night. Other CDs and comics by Jon are available on his website.
