Alex Taylor

Event information

Alex Taylor has had some amazing reviews and with Q magazine enthusing that "Taylor is a singer-songwriter of rare intensity... echoes of Bill Withers' jazzy folky soul" and TIME OUT described him as "a Buckley-esque singer songwriter". Our talented West Coast troubadour comes to this not for profit music club for his debut gig on the East side of the UK.

His debut album features some key players from the Bristol music scene: Jim Barr (Portishead) on bass, Leo Taylor (Adele, The Invisible) on drums, Angelo Bruschini (Massive Attack) on guitar and Dan Moore (Phantom Limb) on piano, Hammond and Rhodes. We wouldnt normally make a nod to "folks" but it just so happens that he is the youngest son of jazz legends Norma Winstone and John Taylor.

Taylor throws the kind of twistedly beautiful shapes on acoustic guitar that recall John Martyn, while his voice is a scratchy, committed thing that can walk across a falsetto tightrope with poise or howl like a wounded animal. An impressive introduction."
