Laravel 5.5 user event listener not working

I have set up an event that should run whenever a user registers successfully. The event runs but the listener handler is never triggered.

Any one know what I've done wrong here? I'm using Laravel 5.5 on a local development server (wamp).

It's not even getting to the listener's handle() function, I put a dump in there to test.

Below is my code:

Event:

class UserRegisteredEmail extends Event {
    use InteractsWithSockets, SerializesModels;

    public $user;
    public $password;

    public function __construct($user, $password)
    {
        $this->user = $user;
        $this->password = $password;
    }

    public function broadcastOn()
    {
        return new PrivateChannel('channel-name');
    }
}

Event Listener:

 class UserRegisteredEmailListener {

    public function __construct()
    {
    }

    public function handle(UserRegisteredEmail $event)
    {
        Notification::send($event->user, new NewAccountEmail($event->password));
    }
}

EventServiceProvider:

class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{

    protected $listen = [
        'App\Events\Event' => [
            'App\Listeners\EventListener',
            'App\Listeners\UserRegisteredEmailListener'
        ],
    ];


    public function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();
        //
    }
}

UserService where the event is dispatched:

    DB::transaction(function () use ($user, $password, $role, $sendEmail) {
                    $this->userMeta->firstOrCreate([
                        'user_id' => $user->id
                    ]);

                if ($sendEmail) {
                    event(new UserRegisteredEmail($user, $password));
                }
            });
