Reuben Lovett

Reuben Lovett plays The Coach & Horses on Thursday 5 November, starting at 6:00 PM. He's a folk, rock and reggae songwriter from Pershore in the West Midlands, and he'll be performing solo for this one.

His songs sit somewhere between the delicate and the spiky, and he draws on his own lived experience to write them. He's been writing and performing since his teens, starting out busking and playing countless live shows. Over the years he's been featured and supported by BBC Radio Gloucestershire, played Nozstock: The Hidden Valley Festival, and shared a stage with post-punk innovator Jah Wobble. He's also supported the Australian band Sticky Fingers and UK indie-rock favourites The Subways.

For the past two years he's been a committed member of the 11-piece outfit Dub Catalyst, whose 2026 festival run alone includes 37 bookings. He performs solo, backed by a rotating cast of musicians, or fronting alongside Dub Catalyst. His current single, 'Old Mexico', carries cover art he hand-carved himself as a lino print, and it's followed by 'Better Run', a live recording captured inside St Mary's Church in Elmley Castle.

It's free admission, so you can just turn up on the night. The set starts at 6:00 PM at The Coach & Horses in Gloucester.
