Bio:
.. ______________________________________________________________BIOGRAPHY
Hello, I am Holly Taymar.
I like to write songs and sing them for people – lots of people. My music sits somewhere between folk and jazz – though I pretty much like everything. Most of my songs are written on a bed, in a little room, with a guitar, whilst staring out of the window.
I’ve done quite a bit of recording so far – it’s real good fun. You can buy my 2005 EP, 2007 album ‘Before I Know’, and new 2009 album ‘Waking Up Is Hard To Do’ from me at a gig, or from iTunes.
A massive part of my life is travelling to exotic places around the UK to play my songs. I sometimes play solo, sometimes in a duo, sometimes as a trio…. Since I’ve been singing, I’ve notched up hundreds of live performances. I’ve played lots of folky type festivals, as well as bigger venues and more intimate spaces. I’ll play anywhere you like. Even in car parks.
Aside from the car parks, I have been lucky enough to have supported some excellent artists such as Martha Tilston, Boo Hewerdine, Rachel Harrington, Edwina Hayes, Ben Parker and Kate Aumonier, The Ruth Notman Band, and Rod Picott and Amanda Shires. I’ve had recognition for my songwriting skills from the BBC’s New Talent initiative, and also worked extensively as a session musician.
My gig list is updated daily - so if there isn’t one on the list that you can get to, let me know and I’ll book one soon. If you’d like to book me for a private function, get in touch – I do these as well :)
Nice.

Influences:
Anyone whose music is honest and pure - James Taylor, Norah Jones, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Paul Simon, Kate Rusby, Polly Paulusma, there are far too many to mention.More broadly, pretty much everyone I come into contact with inspires me in some way - including the most wonderful man who I will miss forever and ever and who taught me far more in three weeks than I've learnt in my whole life, Steve Hartley.
