Reg is an award winning folk singer, songwriter and story teller.  He has a rare gift of being able to touch people with his collection of extremely beautiful songs performed with humour and depth.

"Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury (portrayed by the amazing Rami Malik). The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound. They reach unparalleled success, but in turn Freddie, surrounded by darker influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for the Live Aid Concert in 1985 . While bravely facing a recent AIDS diagnosis, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of Rock Music." From the official website.

"The film is at it's most engaging when capturing how Mercury and his bandmates - Brian May (Gwilym Lee), Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy) and John Deacon (Joseph Mazzello) - conceived some of their biggest hits in the studio. The playing out of the relative strengths and weaknesses of each of Queen's members in relation to one another provides both narrative tension and a fascinating portrayal of artistic collaboration, however speculative it may be, especially in the depiction of how Bohemian Rhapsody came into being". Slant

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is as baroque and evocative a beast as its namesake song, thanks almost entirely to Malek's phenomenal performance" Eye for Film
