One of the BEST. In every respect.
Held in high regard in the States(?) He can write, sing and play.... surprise, surprise!
Yes, I would travel to see and listen to him but Oh, would the folk police approve? He's not 'traditional'!

I saw him in Ilkley not too long ago and he was terrific. He's a great writer and a thoroughly nice chap.

I think Jeremy is largely responsable for the term ' jobsworth ' being in common use today.

Great bloke, great songwriter and performer.

Jeremy is now handling his own bookings, since the sad death of Derek Grinnell.

Last year he moved back to France (his wife is French), although he still has a cottage on the Welsh borders which he uses as a base when touring in the UK. This is usually about once a year. He has recently been spending a lot of time in the US, where he is held in high regard.

If you wish to book Jeremy, try his website www.jeremytaylor.info or if you get stuck, you can PM me and I will pass it on.

I also have the privilege to handle Jeremy's recordings in the UK - see our website Ag Pleez Deddy


And yes, he is still just as brilliant these days. Go and see him if you get the chance.

He did a great song about being a lift attendant in a big store.

But I can't remember the title or the words;
Anybody out there who can help?

Thanks in advance

Saw him loads of times in the 70's and three or four years ago we booked him for a do at our village hall. Lovely man, yes he does remind me of Michael Palin !

Earlier thread here . As has been said, he was represented by Perrotts Folly but since the death of Derek Grinnell, they only do bookings for Johnny Silvo now.
You could try contacting them as they will no doubt pass a message or put you in contact.

He's still gigging, although I think he picks and chooses his places to play. He's been at Llantrisant folk club, so if you contact Splottman or Pat (can't remember her Mudcat handle!) they can let you know how to contact Jeremy. And yes, I think he lives on the Welsh border these days.

I saw him at Willington near Derby a couple of years ago. He was still in good form. Not as tall as I remembered - he looked a bit like Michael Palin.

He lives in Wales, I believe.

How many of you UK Folkies remember Jeremy Taylor? anyone seen him recently? I loved his stuff in the 70s.
would You (yes you) travel/pay to see him if he was close by?!
I am thinking of seeking him out for a gig in the cold old North East, so would apreciate replies from folk in the North of england on that point!
