Press Reviews "Paul Meredith has recently written and produced his third CD album, "Shadows of Belgrade." Being "in the biz" I am an avid devourer of a diverse range of non-Springboard CD output. Much of what I hear is uninspiring and formulaic. This album is anything but. Without a doubt his finest work to date, this 16 track album is a sublime mix of humour and social observation contemporary songs (protest songs they are not) delivered with fine guitar, clear vocals, and underpinned by a smooth production technique. From the lyrical beauty of the title track "Shadows of Belgrade" to the evocative "Where My Country Lies" this collection is a delight. If you care about good music then support this talented man's work and buy this CD. This is an unsolicited testimonial. There's nothing in this for me. I care passionately about quality music covering a wide range, and this work should be recognised. There's no telling where this man's work will lead, but I feel there is a lot more yet to come. Musically Yours, as ever, Geoff" Unsolicited CD review sent out to music fans in Hong Kong by Geoff Green, Managing Director of Springboard Media Ltd, a UK record and books label, and former Chairman of the Hong Kong Folk Society.
