One cold April morning 
She watches him leaving
She waves at the window 
Then walks to the kitchen 
She makes herself coffee 
The TV man's talking 
His face is the same
But his words have
No meaning today

Live Review: Reg Meuross, The Ropewalk, Ropery Hall, Barton-Upon-Humber, 20th March 2025 - "a 'must-see' for anyone with even just a passing interest in folk music" @regmeurossmusic
americana-uk.com
Live Review: Reg Meuross, The Ropewalk, Ropery Hall, Barton-Upon-Humber – 20th March 2025
My first visit of the year to the Ropery Hall, Barton-Upon-Humber, finds the venue unsurprisingly full for Reg Meuross's return. Since his first solo album was released almost 30 years ago, Meuross has become widely regarded as one of this country's finest singer-songwriters. Recent years have seen him release a duo of thematic albums, initially with '12 Silk Handkerchiefs'
