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….

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.

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
