MY NAME IS LONDON TOWN by Reg Meuross

Reg Meuross live dates: www.regmeuross.com/events
From the album LEAVES & FEATHERS (2013)
Reg's celebration of the capital city "My Name is London Town" was inspired by the Woody Guthrie song "My Name is New York City". It has a sting in the chorus "I'm your vision going up, your nightmare coming down" and has been described as a 'modern Streets Of London'.
What the papers say:
My Name Is London Town:
"....throws down a gauntlet to Ralph McTell's mighty Streets Of London, and comes up with an even better lyric wrapped around an unforgettable tune." Mick Tems, Folk Wales
".....capturing the spirit of the capital in the same manner as Ray's Waterloo Sunset." Allan Wilkinson, Northern Sky
"....successfully drags 'Streets of London.' into 2013" Malcolm Carter, Pennyblack Music
REG
"A mighty songwriter and an equally good singer"" MARTIN CARTHY
"There's something special about the way he writes and delivers a song" TOWNES VAN ZANDT
'Intelligent and thought-provoking songs, beautifully made and skilfully delivered' The Times
Mike Harding Folk Show "Beautiful and intelligent songs..."
Stunning photography by SUE FOLL, kindly donated from her book of 'everyday moments of London', STREET bit.ly/WQxVbp provide the perfect atmospheric backdrop.
Reg was invited to record Leaves & Feathers in Abbey Road Studios in 2012, and has already received great reviews: "This is stunning" Mike Harding Folk Show; "Beautiful and sparse and lovely" Iain Anderson BBC Scotland; "He really draws you in, he's a great storyteller" "A great Sound" Frank Hennessy, Celtic Heartbeat BBC Wales.
"My Name Is London Town, a haunting bittersweet love letter that embraces both 'the bundle of rags in the Oxford Street doorway' and 'the cry of the Smithfield fishmonger at dawn', the dome of St Paul's and the Regent's Park mosque. But if London is 'your vision going up...your nightmare coming down... the Westminster fool...the Pentonville clown'." NetRhythms Review
"...the supremely evocative, bittersweet homage... will I'm sure in time come to rival McTell's celebrated Streets Of London." Pennyblack Music
"My Name Is London Town' successfully drags 'Streets of London' into 2013... it made this listener feel more home sick that he has done in many years". Folk & Roots

What a great, great song! A song well written and so meaningful. Only wish I was in UK to see this immensely talented musician perform. So many years now since my days spent in London. Only wish Reg would one day do a tour in USA. Would love to see him in concert.

[@tobiasoellers146]

Beautiful Song. It’s really sad that so many people seem to prefer uninspired and boring music and seem to have no sense of good music. But anyway, I can’t change that, so I‘m just happy that there is something like this for me and other people appreciating this. Thanks Reg and all the Best from a huge fan

Thanks - please share :)

[@grahamrothwell8236]

Amazing.So far haven't found a song by this guy i don't like. Its so nice to hear a NEW voice ad NEW lyrics in these politically correct days. Such feeling in the words. We can all identify with the words of many of his songs. Some may not like them but his descriptions are many towns and cities in OUR country today. Thanks for waking me up to others world.

[@karenrothwell9366]

It's like Bob Dylan wrote the lyrics or Eyan McColl back in the 60s...

[@grahamrothwell8236]

Karen Rothwell This guy is very original. Amazing voice
