This self-styled old white blues guy from Yorkshire is one of the most under-rated heroes of our time. With his uniquely English melancholic perspective and emotive guitar style he deserves wider recognition.

"Chapman shared with JJ Cale a penchant for understaement, smoky vocals and beautifully tasteful guitar....and to his devotees like the late John Peel they've never been anything short of an inspired commentary on the human condition" Guitar & Bass Magazine

Popular Fellside Recording Artist Bram Taylor has a wealth of experience having established a fine reputation both here and abroad, performing at Folk Festivals, Folk Clubs, Arts Centres and other concert venues in the UK, USA, Canada and Europe.

He enthrals audiences with his fine rich voice and entertaining sense of humour, performing an excellent selection of both traditional and contemporary material.  Bram sings a cappella and also plays guitar and duet concertina.  With a constantly healthy gig sheet, annual tours of the USA and appearances at the 2007 & 2009 Mariposa Folk Festival in Canada (alongside Don McLean, Gordon Lightfoot, The Proclaimers and Buffy - Sainte Marie) Bram continues to be a constantly reliable and entertaining performer.

Bram is Fellside Records’ longest serving artist with 9 solo albums and almost an equivalent number of compilation recordings to his credit.  His latest Fellside release ‘Song Singer’ has been extremely well received by the British Folk Music Press and has proudly celebrated over 25 years as a Fellside Recording Artist. 

“Bram is the complete package - a superb mix of traditional and contemporary folk with outstanding guitar work and of course, his concertina and incredible voice.  Coupled with all of this, seeing Bram live for the first time enabled me to witness what a great audience communicator he is, with some very funny between-song chat and a great rapport with the audience.
