Comments from other Folk Clubs and Organisers

Below: Bram at the Open Door Folk Club, Failsworth, Manchester (Follow link for more)

Bram at Open DoorBram guested at our club and thoroughly entertained a crowded room, performing many traditional and contemporary songs laced together with hilarious tales from his native North West. This was his first appearance at our club but I'm sure it won't be his last.
Ralph Barton, Bromsgrove Folk Club

"Nothing will prepare you for the superb, warm performance that this man gives. Singing songs that are poignant or funny, sad or carefree, his voice is clear and light and his style of finger-picking makes playing the guitar look so easy. If you hear of him appearing at a venue close to you, seeing him is a must, an experience not to be missed."
Richard Blair, Thames Valley Folk

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this man's voice is clear and tuneful, one of the best. His fifth Fellside CD, 'Pick Of The Grinner' is a well balanced album, which I am delighted to get to keep and you ought to go out and buy it. I'ts worth it.
Folk On Tap

On Bram's first appearance at our Festival, his choice of material and excellent delivery delighted the audiences. It certainly won't be his last visit.
Dave and Kate Guest, Festival Directors,
White Horse Folk Festival, Oxfordshire

Bram continues to prove his versatility by providing a quality performance from a wide variety of material. He is a polished performer, always providing value for money at the clubs I run and visit.
Dave Hutchinson, Gainford & Heighington Folk Clubs, Co. Durham

Bram at Open Door FC

May I thank you for an excellent evening's entertainment which was great fun and thoroughly enjoyed by all the Rotarians and friends who attended, even though some had been wary of what they thought would be an evening of just folk songs. No such thing! The comedy and interplay between you and the audience, as well as the excellent quality of the songs and music made for a memorable evening.
Bob Connop, Rotary International

Bram Taylor has produced an album that displays all the quality, charisma and intelligence that could launch him into the major league folk arena. Imaginative arrangements and superbly atmospheric accompaniment. His Choice of material is perfectly suited to his warmly restrained voice and suggest that on this form Taylor is potentially worldbeating.
Sean McGhee, Rock and Reel
