Jonathan Taylor

Jonathan Taylor is the Great Grandson of soprano singer and early recording pioneer Rebecca Johnson (nee Reece), Grandson of Ivy (nee Johnson) Usher (a play anything by ear Pianist) and a Cousin of Robert (Bob) Johnson - Steeleye Span. My first band ‘Peach’ 'he says, (Abergavenny) worked without drums but added Saxophone for depth.' ‘Up here (Halifax), I formed the original line up of ‘Waving Not Drowning’ with Anna (got some good press and released an independent 12") and afterwards formed ‘The Atom Arc Landslide’ with David. Then John and I, as ‘Cali’, worked on some traditional South American stuff too.’ He now travels and works solo. 'It's so much easier' he laughs!Jonathan has two 'Solo albums' under his belt and a third 'live album' which he guarantees is overdub free! He has appeared on both Independent Television and BBC Radio. His youth-work CV has included work with Toyah Wilcox (Courtesy of BBC Manchester.)Jonathan will be performing at the prestigious International Euro Folk Festival (Veliko Turnovo) throughout the summer 2007.Please WATCH GIG LIST regularly for details! Both he and his Fiancee Nicola spend all available time in Sevlievo, Bulgaria where they think of 'as home.'
