Craven Herald Review of Victoria Hall, Settle gig with Fake Thackray – Gill O Donnell
“…..Too often with Reg it is easy to overlook the skilled musician because your focus is held by the lyricism and cleverly woven stories. From his opening chords the audience was spellbound and the magic lasted throughout the performance. This … Continue reading

Noel Cowley Reviews the My Name Is London Town Gig at St James’ Piccadilly 28 Sept 2013
No finer setting could there have been. Reg Meuross launched his new single My Name Is London Town in St James’ Church, Piccadilly this evening. Tucked away inconspicuously only yards from the neon and bustle of London’s famous thoroughfare, this 17th century Christopher Wren church was the venue for a flawless, seamless concert by a master of storytelling in song. As did the craftsmen of old carve ornate designs into the oak pews from which his audience listened, so did tonight’s performer weave beautiful and varied melodies through each of his songs. Continue reading

Maverick Magazine – Leaves & Feathers Review by Alan Cackett Sept/Oct 2013
Reg clothes his stories in memorable melodies, coming up with tunes that infiltrate the mind as the lyrics affect the heart. It’s a compelling combination that only a very few singer- songwriters achieve time after time…. A genuine triple threat as singer, songwriter and guitarist, Reg Meuross has produced a minor masterpiece…. Above all else, this is an intimate album that should be widely embraced by all and sundry. Continue reading

Noel Cowley’s Review of Reg’s Songwriting Masterclass May 2013 – Under The Stars (organised by Helen Meissner Folkstock Arts Foundation)
The workshop itself was stimulating from beginning to end, sprinkled with examples from Reg’s own back catalogue which he effortlessly played in the late May sunshine to illustrate aspects of songwriting that we were discussing. It was refreshing to be told, “If you want to write songs, then you’re a songwriter”. It’s easy to forget that sometimes. Continue reading

Leaves & Feathers Review by Mike Davies NetRhythms Feb 2013
“….in tandem with those ash and honey vocals, the album glows with a soothing homespun warmth, wrapping the listener in its cloak of stories. Variously steeped in reverie or melancholy…..after several plays [the songs] are now as much a part of me as breathing.” Continue reading

Review of Leaves & Feathers from Pennyblack Music. April 2013
‘Leaves and Feathers’ is arguably the best album Meuross has produced so far. The stripped-back sound brings Meuross’s tales to life perfectly. It shows that songs as strong and powerful as those Meuross writes need few embellishments but most of all it confirms what we knew all along; that Meuross is one of the most talented storytellers of our generation. Continue reading
