SEPTEMBER, SATURDAY 27th - ALAN TAYLOR
“I think you are more purely musical than just about anyone I know. You are one of the very few who record as well as you perform.” (Tom Paxton)
His songs have been recorded by more than a hundred other performers of various nationalities (there are more than sixty cover versions of his song “It’s Good to See You”, in ten different languages), proof enough that a concert by Allan Taylor will be an experience to remember. As Allan says at the beginning of each concert, “Sit back and enjoy the journey.”
