Allan Taylor

Allan left his home town of Brighton at the age of 21 to become part of London’s vibrant folk scene – and never looked back. He has since travelled the world, growing in experience and stature and is now hailed as one of the foremost songwriters and performers of his generation. His songs have been covered by artists ranging from Don Williams to Fairport Convention and his own performances are laced with tales from the road – and the expertise he gathered while gaining a Ph.D on songwriting. Allan is an observer, noting the individual stories of the people he encounters on his travels and capturing them in his music. And with 50 years of experience as a traveller, performer and songwriter, Allan has a fantastic catalogue of stories in his repertoire and a singing and guitar style that oozes class. With 26 albums under his belt, we shall not be short of great tunes with Allan on stage.
