I have been away in Dublin recording my new album. I am working with the amazing Trevor Hutchinson of The Waterboys, Eric Bibb, Lunasa and Sharon Shannon and of bunch of others. The session went really well, recording 12 songs. I will be back in Dublin in January to finish the album off. So, all very exciting stuff.
I have had an amazing year with the release of my album ‘Calcutta Grove’. This was followed by performing on the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury Festival to a few thousand people and selling out of cd’s. The same thing happened in Switzerland when I supported the legendary John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater. Further support slots with Southside Johnny, Curved Air, Colin Blunstone (The Zombies), Otis Grand, The Groundhogs, and Nine Below Zero. Plus headline slots all over the place and a tour of Ireland in September. 2009 has been my best and busiest year so far and the critical response to 'Calcutta Grove' has been amazing.
Welcome to Sean Taylor Songs
My name is Sean Taylor and I’m a singer songwriter who lives in Kilburn, north London. ‘Calcutta Grove’ is the third completed piece of work I’ve recorded. I’ve had spectacular reviews in publications as diverse as ‘Uncut’, ‘Classic Rock’, ‘Maverick’, ‘Blues Matters’, ‘Americana UK’, ‘Net Rhythms’, ‘Blues In Britain’, ‘Rock N’ Reel’, ‘Folk Radio UK’ and ‘Classical Guitar World’. I have been reviewed in the US, Germany, Australia, Canada, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Netherlands and Eire to name a few.
I’ve been compared to John Martyn, Tom Waits and Bob Dylan.
Over the past year I’ve played at a score of festivals, including the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury where I performed to three thousand people and sold out of cd’s, the same thing happened at Blue Balls in Lucerne (Switzerland), Acoustic Festival of Britain, Bloom Festival, Tolpuddle Martyrs, Tenby Blues and Broadstairs Folk Week. I’ve done headline gigs across the UK, toured Switzerland and played support slots for the Neville Brothers, John Fogerty, George Benson, Band of Horses, Big Joe Turner, Otis Grand, The Groundhogs and Chickenshack. I have shows booked into 2010 touring The Netherlands, Germany, Eire & Belgium. I’ve also played a dozen gigs as part of ‘Love Music Hate Racism’. Wherever I’ve played I’ve been asked back.
I have also had radio play on various stations including the Bob Harris (BBC Radio 2) & Tom Robinson (BBC 6 Music) shows and played live sessions on House of Mercy and Raven N Blues shows
’Calcutta Grove’ was developed through live playing and the album evolved into something that I believe is genuinely different to anything that is currently available.
