James Hollingsworth returns to Bristol for an all-original 45 minute featured set at Alex Taylor's prestigious Taphouse Sessions. James has become known on the live circuit as a folkie/acoustic troubadour ranging the UK, with a brief spell as front-man for Bristol-based rock act JEBO. He's since moved deeper into blues, rock and grooves as in time he's come to master both new instruments and new music technology, including live looping, as seen in his epic Pink Floyd and Psych Rock Nights.
About my album Thirteen Moons - a journey through the lunar year in 13 singles:
"fine rock musicianship" - Music Eye
"A cracking album, right up my street" - Folk Pilot
"If you like acoustic music with interesting rhythms and narrative lyrics then this is for you." - Acoustic Nations
"I am loving this record and have had a fair bit of time to listen. I love the sounds, that progressive folk rock feel, superb!" ~ Aldora Records

“Alex Taylor is a genius with a loop pedal… and his voice is stunning”
– Metro
Bristol based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumental loop pedal artist. Already compared by reviewers to the likes of Bill Withers, John Martyn and Jeff Buckley, Alex Taylor is one of the shining lights of the acoustic scene and a troubadour of world-class standing.
When you see him perform live, prepare yourself for an energetic and passionate vocal performance, dextrous and original acoustic playing and some dynamic loop pedal trickery for good measure.
Drawing on varied influences from a wide musical spectrum, Alex’s unique style splices elements of soul, nu-folk and electronica to place his powerful-yet gentle, shape‐shifting voice firmly in the spotlight.
A festival favourite, Alex has headlined the BBC Stage at Bristol Harbour Festival and played many other stages including Cambridge Folk and Cheltenham Jazz Festivals.
Notching up over a thousand gigs including support slots for Stu Larsen, Roachford and Jack Savoretti.
His critically acclaimed debut album features performances from members of The Invisible, Newton Faulkner’s band, Portishead and Massive Attack.
Brand new studio album set for release later this year.
“Sublime... Buckley-esque singer songwriter”
– Time Out
“Echoes of Bill Withers' jazzy folky soul”
– Q Magazine
“The burnished baritone... who sounds like a calmer, more soulful Sting”
– The Guardian
“Dynamic solo shows, using pedals and loops to create a wall of sound”
– Maverick Magazine
