If there is one artist that #TEAMw21 can't wait to catch up with again with at Long Road it is Julian Taylor. His show at the Water Rats last year supporting his "Anthology" album had a bit of everything as he tackled a number of genres with equally impressive ease.
It was more than that though, his whole presence and demeanour was one of welcoming calmness. On the night he was supported by a top UK band assembled by Michele Stodart who truly helped tp make the night special.
Our expectations have only been enhanced by the singles released so far ahead of his forthcoming album "Pathway" released on September 27th. For "Weighing Down" and "Ain't Life Strange" you get a sense of that calmness we were referring to earlier while for "Running Away" he hit a tremendous rock 'n' roll groove.
With a rich catalogue to dip into and a host of stories to tell - time spent with Julian Taylor may well prove to be your best investment across the whole weekend.
